The kids are here again tonight. Two five-year-olds and one that will be two on the 31st of this month. We let them run themselves tired and then it was bath time with Mr Bubbles. They love bath time, but since we were running so late I didn’t let them stay in there playing. I washed the Mini-Hulk (also known as Stinky Butt) and told Thing 1 and Thing 2 to bathe themselves expeditiously.
As soon as I put Stinky Butt’s pajamas on, he started whining because he knew it was bedtime. He does not like to go to bed, but he was sleepy and drifted off as soon as his head hit the pillow. We put Thing 1 and Thing 2 in the guestroom. Stinky Butt is behind me on my bed, snoring up a storm. I wonder what kinds of dreams he has.
Tomorrow I will take them to the park and let them run themselves tired again. It is a routine. We love to be with them, but we can’t wait until they go to bed and all of the screaming and yelling and fighting over toys ceases.
It’s peaceful right now. Just the way I like it.
