After we tucked the kids into bed tonight, Gillian started talking to herself. This is nothing new. She does this every night. As a matter of fact, Daddy actually encourages her to talk to herself. She still takes naps at school, so most nights she is not always ready for bed at bedtime. But we… Continue reading Bedtime Songs
I went to give the kids some goodnight kisses tonight. Gillian was snug in her bed and she refused to let me snuggle with her. But she did give me a “kiss on my face” (aka a kiss on the lips) and a squeezie. I went to check on John. It was super quiet in… Continue reading Goodnight kisses
I climbed into Gillian’s bed tonight to snuggle with her. She told me “I’ve got two friends. Daddy read two books and I got two friends.” She was referring to her two stuffed animals that were under her covers. I moved them over and we snuggled. I asked her about her day. She said “I… Continue reading Bedtime secrets
I love tucking the kids in bed. They are so sweet. They try to prolong the goodnight as long as possible. They give tons of kisses and squeezies. Gillian will fuss over which blanket goes where or which pillow to use. John will want me to snuggle in his bed and then after 30 seconds… Continue reading Bedtime
My kids are so sweet. They love to give kisses and squeezies (that’s what we call hugs). I’m a lucky mommy. I get the most kisses and squeezies. John got to stay up a few minutes later than Gillian tonight. He snuggled in our bed for a little bit and I told him it was… Continue reading Sweet kids
The past two mornings Gillian has woken up early. On Saturday she woke up crying. She told Daddy “I scared!” Since it was only 6, Daddy brought her into our bed. She snuggled up next to me. But she tossed and turned and never found a comfortable spot. So Gillian and I got up and… Continue reading Early mornings
I think I have mentioned in earlier posts that Gillian likes to take her Jammie’s off at night. We put her to sleep and it normally takes her awhile to fall asleep. I guess during that time she gets bored and unzips her Jammie’s and snuggled under the covers in just her diaper. I do… Continue reading Caught
I’m currently snuggled next to John in my bed with Duncan at our feet. John asked me yesterday if he could sleep in the big bed with me. Normally I wouldn’t allow this, but Daddy is away so I decided it would be okay for one night. We watched one TV show and then I… Continue reading Snuggles
One silver lining to being stuck at home for Hurricane Sandy, was that Gillian has finally come to terms with the fire whistle. I’m sure I have mentioned it before, but we have a fire station behind our house. The fire whistle goes off occasionally and Gillian has been afraid of it for awhile now. When… Continue reading Whistle Not Nice
I put Gillian to bed tonight. I tucked her in, gave her Kermit to snuggle and turned on her doggie that plays music. I gave her a few kisses. She turns to me and says “Hug?” I leaned over and gave her a hug. “Kiss?” I give her another kiss. I say goodnight and go… Continue reading Kiss Kiss
