Bedtime

When it comes to being tucked in for bed, our kids are complete opposites. Pierce has always been a little snuggler. (Which we love.) We HAS to be "nuggled" every night, so Ryan and I take turns "nuggling" him which includes laying in his bed snuggling up to him, and what used to be singing to him, has of late, turned into a few minutes of "making rhymes", telling jokes, or playing "I spy."

Madi, on the other hand, could not care less about being snuggled. She wants to "read" her books. (This is, of course, after we have read them a bedtime story.) We tuck her into bed with a limit of 2 books (after her arguing of course, if she had her way, she would load her bed up with 10 or 12 books.) So we tuck her in with her books and leave the light dimmed for her so she can "read", when she is done she will slide the books onto her floor and go to sleep. The other night, when I went to check on her this is what I found....


She had ever so carefully laid out her blanket, gathered up her stuffed animals and gotten them all a book. I am quite certain she had read the books to all of them too.


I hope she loves reading this much when she is in school. She is such a little sweetie, I just love her so much!
