We have had the same night time routine since BOTH Madeline and Mikas were babies. We take a bath, brush teeth, and read books in bed. Mikas always went with Daddy and I always went with Madeline. This was our routine. I would read 3+ books to Madeline and then rock her in a rocking chair or now I lay down with her and we listen to 3 songs. Well it has changed lately..
After Daddy reads to Mikas , tucks him into bed and closes the door, Mikas gets out of bed and comes into "MALines room"with his yellow "Ganky" (blankey) to read books with us! Its a sneeky, little last minute book reading, and cuddling of the night. It kinda puts a dent in Madelines routine as she is used to having me all to herself with cozy dozys and last minute cuddles, which I love as well!
Tonight was diffrent tho, this time when Mikas came sneeking in, it was a NECESSITY that not only does he read books with us, but that he SLEEP in "Malines" room as he didnt want WIENER CATS to get him! All of a sudden he has found these horrible felines which come to get him! Wiener Cats (or meaner cats?) are scary with sharp pointy teeth that growl really scary and come to get his toes, or baby brother, or yellow ganky or his helicopters!!
So, tonight when Mikas came sneeking in and said he COULD NOT sleep in his room cuz of "Meaner/Wiener" Cats I couldnt make him go back to his bed where "Wiener" cats would creep out and get him!
I tucked him in next to Madeline and Madeline rolled over and went to sleep. I left him in bed to fall asleep with sissy and within minutes he was out! This little boy LOVES his sissy and I love the fact that he feels safest with his "Maline" in
"Malines Room"
