daddy duties tonight

been playing daddy to my sub for a few months now and we had this thing where i take care of her like she’s really little but also let her explore some boundaries. last night, she surprised me by coming into the room in just panties and her favorite stuffed animal, wanting me to put her down for bed early. it was cute as hell but kinda threw me off my game a bit. is this normal or should i have a talk with her about expectations? lol
