Night Nights


Hannah told me that she pretends to be a little pink monster. She has added ‘Scared of Monsters’ to the bed time stalling routine of read books, drink water, go potty, get Whitney & Gurgi, play songs on the guitar and talking. Tonight we talked about playing in the pool and she was specific about differntiating girls stuff: bandaids, hello kitty and Mommy’s activities from ‘boy stuff’. One of the greatest pleasures of bing a parent is the short time between “The Day” and “Asleep.” it can also be an exhausting period of frustration (See the you tube video of Samual L Jackson reading GTFTS) . It’s a short period of time when all the conditions are right. Like the Golden Hour (also known as the magic hour) The conversations we have are priceless and I never know what direction the conversation is going to go.
