Her name is Mireya. She is 3 years and 3 months old. She has fine black

hair, a thing for " Handy Manny " cartoons and one of the most prominent

last names in Colorado. Many nights, Mireya Salazar will not fall asleep

unless her feet are touching her mother and her head is touching her

grandmother.

It's part of an elaborate bedtime ritual in which she must place her

pillow with the pink checkerboard and butterfly pattern just so, in the

middle of the bed.

She has other routines, other rules....
