One of my favorite things


Every night when he goes to bed, Jeff asks to sleep in our bed. We allow him to more than we should, I'll admit. But I love to get my work, chores, and shower done before he goes to bed so that I can lay down with him and watch TV. He loves to watch America's Funniest Home Videos ( "funny videos" to him) and shows like "Destroyed in Seconds" ("crashing show") where things crash and blow up and basically get destroyed. What a boy he is, and quite possibly a future Marine. Sometimes he falls asleep watching TV, but when he doesn't, I will turn it off, kiss him goodnight, and give him a "nighttime toy." I will always come back later and lay down with him while he is sleeping and watch TV. I love to watch him sleep. Any mischief or trouble he got into during the day is as good as gone as he lays there sleeping. I like to get into bed a little before Glenn does just so I can lay there for a few minutes, and if we get there at the same time, I tell Glenn just to wait a few seconds before carrying him off to bed so that I can see him.


As for Jack, I stay up late, until at least 12;30 AM so I can change his diaper. Otherwise, he will be swimming by morning. I change his diaper, and then brush his teeth since he usually goes to bed with a sippy cup of milk. Bad for teeth, I know, but that is why I brush them when I changes his diaper. Anyway, when I finish changing him and brushing his teeth, I cover him back up with his blanket. He immediately takes his blanket and stuffs a small part of it into his mouth to suck on, like he just cannot get enough blanket into his mouth.
