Going to Bed

Shane and Jackson are now 18 months old and since they are able to go up stairs by themselves they love "going to bed". All I have to say is it's time to go to bed and they both run to the gate eager to go up the stairs. Jackson likes to touch everything in the hallway first- the statue, the chair, the door knob, the statue then the chair and the doorknob again and then he goes up. They both stop for a break to look out the window and then we continue. After we are in our PJs the boys are at the bathroom door rubbing their teeth- they want to brush their teeth so we brush teeth and then they want to comb their hair, so instead of walking around with toothbrushes they walk around with combs. We of course read lots of books and they go to the windows and yell out to anyone on the street- they literally shout- hey, ahh ahh, hee etc.

Tonight was a new experience though, we turned the fan on in the attic so the door to the ceiling was open and Jackson and Shane both repeatedly stood beneath the fan yelling with their arms up like they were praying to the "fan God". It was the joke of the evening and then they started making sneaker offerings to the fan god as well. I know it sounds goofy but if you were there to witness it you would be laughing about it also. Its sleepy time now = Shane gets his little duck and Jackson has the frog and off they go to sleep. You are both mommy's sun, moon and stars, we love you little guys!
