Tonight when I came home from yoga, Monkey was still up as we have adjusted his bedtime routine to start a half hour later. As I came in the door, I heard DH tell Monkey to “Go give Mama a hug” and there he was at the top of the stairs waiting to give me a hug. Once we hugged, he walked toward the kitchen saying “Come! Come! There’s pizza!” Such a good little man.
Then he said something really cute at bedtime (even though in the end we still had a bedtime battle). After reading some books and putting him in bed, we traditionally sit in the chair next to his bed for about 5 minutes and then leave. While sitting in the chair tonight, I saw his little hand reach over the bed railing while he said, “Wanna hold your hair?” (Monkey loves to play with my hair, I think it’s almost his security blanket). Such a little cutie. How can I be mad?
That’s how they survive, by being so cute and sweet sometimes!
