Tonight Gillian got dressed in her pajamas and asked me “Do you have any nightgowns?” I said “Yes, but just summer ones. I don’t have any winter ones like you.” She didn’t believe me and said “But I thought you like wearing pants and a shirt.” I said “I don’t like wearing a nightgown like… Continue reading The nightgown
Last night, we put the kids to bed. But it didn’t take long before Gillian was out of bed and standing in our room. She said “There’s a bug. A little bug.” Neither Daddy or I said anything. So she kept talking. “Well not a little bug. A medium bug. On my flower.” Daddy went… Continue reading The bug
I just checked on the kids. Both of them were still awake. I gave Gillian some kisses. We talked briefly about our elf on the shelf and I said good night. Next I checked on John. I gave him a kiss.

Daddy laid out feety jammies for Gillian last night. When I went to tuck her in, she was not happy. I said “Look at you in feety jammies!” She said “I don’t like feety jammies.

Every night this week, we have given the kids some extra time before bed to read books. Tonight I asked Gillian to read me a story. She picked Cinderella. I recorded her telling the story. I hope you enjoy it. I did.

We put new pajamas on the kids tonight. Gillian’s were blue and purple striped and said “Princess Sleepyhead.” John’s had a blue shirt and said “What’s canoe with you?” And had a moose in a canoe on it.

The past few nights, we have put the kids to bed and then about 15 minutes later John arrives in our room. He is normally rubbing his eyes from the light in our room. He will walk over to Daddy give him a hug and say “Good night.” And then over to me and do… Continue reading Good Night
I tucked Gillian into bed tonight and she asked me “You want me to tell you a story?” If Gillian asks you if she can tell you a story, you never turn it down. It will not disappoint. I said “Of course.” She rested her head on her hand and thought for a minute. Then… Continue reading The story
