Bed Time

I am still the bed time guy and I do really enjoy it even thought it is a bit long at times, especially when cupcake decides she is not ready to drift off to sleepy land and build castles with the "Sand Man".

So tonight we were snuggled together in the "Big Girl" bed.  The light had been turned off after a tearful rendition of the book I cannot finish, thanks Anne.  A little Peter in the Pan and a slight struggle to turn of the light.  So there we were sitting in the dark, my little princes with her killer blue eyes, infectious smile and juvenile sense of humor.  Daddy, rough and gruff with a three day beard growth.

What was my little princes doing while waiting to drift off to sleep.....

Picking her nose and wiping her boogers on my shoulder!

at least they are little boogers ;) 

It worked, she fell asleep... Maybe I will try this with my wife tonight?

Growing up...

First off, it is not I who is growing up, I have yet to leave the phase of being a 12 yr old. However, our little girl is getting bigger in more ways than one. I sort of don't want to write this post for fear of jinxing myself, however it is an interesting stage in our daughter's life and needs to be captured. So, now at bed time, our little girl likes to drink a bottle of warm milk; thank you Miss Amy. Usually I would hold our little girl in my arms and rock her, showering her with kisses and serenading her until she drifts off to the land of baby sleep.

Times they are a changing....
Our little girl now "shotguns" this bottle of this liquid sedative and is ready to rock! When she is done drinking, she points to the crib and wants to be placed in it. So, daddy complies with his daughter's request and does exactly that and leaves her to milk-induced dreams. I am sure I will miss holding my little girl in my arms.

Bedtime Follies

Of the many fun things Crazy Crumbz does, especially at bed time, is the trying of the pants, or shorts or what ever else she can get her little fingers on. She will pull down a box of clothes and begin to try on the pants or shorts. However her attention span is quite short. She will put on one pant leg then grab another pair and put on one leg. Before you know it she has six pairs of pants or shorts all on one leg. With the same determiniation, she will take the pants off then start all over again with a fresh batch of clothes. Kind of fun but dont get into her way. She is very determined and focused while trying on her clothes.
