Bed time stories and curious little minds....

Bedtime routine always starts out with good intentions, but ends up a hurried mess. The kids keep procrastinating and staling. There is always the need for a snack, have to go to the bathroom, a drink, or what ever excuse they can come up with. Then we get cranky and hurried just to get them down. Lately I have been working on patience and trying to not be so hostel at bedtime. I have come to realize that not only am I reading bedtime stories, but taking the time to learn about the kids and their own little stories.

Maybe cause it is night time and they are laying in bed for a few seconds, I'm not sure. The little wheels in Peyton's and Annisten's head are turning.  They come up with some funny stories and questions about the day. I think because I am trying to slow things down, I have been listen more to what they are saying these days. It has been worth every moment too.

A few nights ago, the kids were getting their PJ on and were asking questions about the baby. They both wanted to know if the baby had his PJ on too. I told them no he is naked (for some reason nakedness is a very funny thing at our house). They laughed and laughed! So now the big news at our house Peyton and Anni tell everyone they meet is.... My mommy has a baby in her tummy and he is naked!!!! Then they laugh and laugh.
