Bedtime shenanigans

[becomingkate]

My son has continued to drag out bedtime, from me having to tell him 10 times to brush his teeth and get changed, to begging for one more chapter from his book (we started the Magic Treehouse books a few days ago, they are good but may be a bit mature for him still-I had to skip past the description of a mummy's face last night to avoid scaring him)

So after all that, last night, he mentioned his monster spray, a concoction of vanilla extract and water I made to spray him and the corners of his room to keep away the monsters. He said "I wish you could make a spray that smells like you and daddy." So I asked him what we smell like and he said we're both stinky sometimes. LOL

I ended up giving him the shirts my husband and I wore that day and that made him happy. Later on when I checked on him before I went to bed, he was wearing my sweatshirt. :)

I don't mind either. It's better than his request that we sleep in his bed LOL (yes both his parents with him in his twin bed)

He stays in his room? Mine sneaks out at night and sleeps with me on weekends. Well us. I'm a sucker!!! :)

Yeah, he stays in his room. Once he's asleep he's usually out for the night except for a run to the bathroom. But I don't think it has occured to him to sneak to our bed. Shhh :)

Although, if my husband is away (which is rare) I let him sleep in my bed ;)

My kid has always done that. I am too tired to fight it most nights...

I wouldn't mind if he did but my husband probably wouldn't like it. One of our cats sleeps right up against his back since we got the dog so the bed is already a little cramped!

Oh I see. I am just glad it isn't every night she does that.
