Life with toddler

Step one:  put the toddler to bed in his room.  Books are read, cheeks are kissed.  Boy is tucked in.  All is well.

Step two:  put on sassy outfit for the husband.  Appreciative comments are exchanged.  Kisses and snuggles are swapped.  All is well.

Step three:  venture upstairs to our room for the night.  Discover a line of trains at the foot of the bed, and a little pair of socked feet sticking out from under our quilt.

**insert sound of record skipping**

Sigh.  This is not where I tucked him in!

Step four:  put away the sassy outfit for another night.  Put on sweats and a t-shirt.  Return downstairs for a night of television and Facebook.

Step five:  have a good laugh.  Not exactly what we had planned for the night, but darn it, that’s cute.

    I LOVE the line of trains. Perfect!

  2. Um… continue planned evening downstairs instead of in bedroom? Still, that IS adorable! When I was little, my mom worked nights. I’d tuck myself into her bed so that she’d have to wake me when she got home. Only I never remembered her coming home anyway.
