We have a routine in our home at bedtime.
Teeth are brushed. Pajamas on. Jump in bed. Collect Handsome’s two favorite cars, two books, and kiss him on the cheek.
Then he says,
“Love you, goodnight.”
and I say
“Love you, goodnight.”
and I go to my room as he falls asleep.
Usually when we turn off the light, and find him sleeping in a sea of books, and toys- we don’t find this.
Last night, Kinley did.
My littlest is 3. He carries his pet "jasper" that he named after the neighbors dog that is a Pug, and his dog is a pug, then he carries his pet Batty(webkin bat) into bed, his blanket and sometimes his purse.
