Bedtime

Bedtime at our house starts with a bath.  

And then there are some jammies.

And we let Nathan do some wandering around in his room.

During which he usually tries to escape.

Oh how I love the curls at the back of his head.  

They get pretty unruly, but after the bath they are so so cute.

And then this this sweet little boy curls up on mom's lap.  Dad makes his dramatic exit (peek-a-boo at the door) and Mom reads him his stories.  And to just add a little bit more sweetness, he lays his head on mommy's shoulder as she sings to him.

And then he cuddles his favorite blankie and goes peacefully to sleep.  His bedtime is pretty simple, but it's one of the best times of the day.  We're all together as a family and that boy is so so sweet.  One day that sweet little boy won't let mommy rock him to sleep and it breaks my heart to think of him growing up.  But I try to remind myself that's he's still little and I get to cuddle him as long as I want.
