Lullaby (Of Sorts!)

Years ago when our oldest was a baby, hubby had a job that made him work insane amounts of hours. Add that to the fact that he was in the bishopric and that equated to not being able to see him much. So, in order to actually spend some time with our baby, he started putting her to bed. This turned into a routine that has not wavered since. (And let me just say how much I love that!) Some nights, it's pure craziness around here, and over hearing the conversations is just too much fun. So, I wrote down all hubby was saying last night. I only wrote down what he said, because frankly, that's all I heard. Here is the jist of the conversation:

(Names have been changed to protect the innocent.)

• "Get off of her, Cinderella!"


• "C'mon!"


• "Stop it, Cinderella!"


• "Bedtime!"


• "Brush teeth."


• "Cinderella!"


• "Go ask Mom for Belle's blanket."


• "Go ask Mom for Belle's blanket."


• "Belle, stop."


• "Stop!"


• "Do you know where it is?"


• "Girls, get in your room."


• "Get in your room, now!"


• "Put your arm through, Belle."


• "Put your head through, Belle."


• "Put your arm through, Belle."


• "C'mon."


• "Will you please put your arm through?"


• "What?"


• "Whatee?"


• "C'mere"


• "Uuurrrrgh!"


• "I'll go get your blanket."


• "C'mon."


• "Cinderella, c'mon."


• "Go to bed."

At this point, it became obvious that we couldn't find little one's best friend/blanket! :O I've actually looked everywhere, called stores I went to, and even got in the car last night to re-trace my steps. Nowhere to be found. So, poor baby, will have to make friends with a new blanket. I loved that thing! All three girls used it, and it was still in great shape.

So, that's our bedtime in a nutshell. There is the obligatory storytime, scripture study and prayer, but the funny part is overhearing him wrangling with them. Is your bedtime as crazy?
