Bedtime

Bedtime has become a very long and drawn out event with several jammy changes, multiple bottles, bed switches, and lots of playing. At least three times tonight, Van has opened his door and come out completely naked, asking for different jammies, a trip to the toilet, or just to play. It's now 9:38PM, we started around 8:15PM.
Most often the process is frustrating and we work on being as short as possible with our responses; not encouraging any fun and actively trying to discourage his delays. But every once in a while I lay down with him and just enjoying talking to him and hearing about his day. It is a rare time where he will stay in one place and talk to you, since he knows he's supposed to be sleeping.

Van kept telling me,  'Mom you're heap trouble!'. He meant I'm in a heap of trouble, that line from the movie Cars. He has a toy that says that when you press the wheels. 

We sang 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.' 

He also rubs my tummy and asks about the baby, like if he can touch it though my bellybutton and things like that. Then he wraps me around his finger with 'I love you mama'.
