Here is a glimpse into our night time routine. Bath time is only occasionally as fun as this picture depicts. More often there is a good amount of fun and splashing, accompanied by a few outbursts of crying.
After bath and pjs, we have story time. Here is Bryan reading Dr. Suess's "Oh, the Thinks you can Think". Our family's favorite page goes like this, "And you don't have to stop, you can think about schlopp. Schlopp, schlopp, beautiful schlopp. Beautiful schlopp with a cherry on top." So when our kids ask, "Pretty please with a cherry on the schlopp?" you can smile and know where they get it from. In this picture you can see Ashley's sad chapped face from winter combined with her having a binky at night.
You can also see Ashley's new favorite friend- Orangey bear. This last week I asked her what her bear's name was. She was quiet for a while and then said "ee-i-ee-i-o". Orangey bear has a small symbol of a McDonald's happy meal on it. Emily decided long ago that McDonalds restaurant is called "Old MacDonalds". Ashley picked that up and decided that since the bear had the arches (which I never pointed out to her), it went with the Old MacDonald song. I am blown away by how much kids understand what is going on and she is ONLY 1!
