Bedtime Ritual

Every night, this is what I hear when I tuck Thatcher in bed:

"Mom, at night, if I have a bad dream, I will wake up and go into your room, and I will say to you guys, 'I had a bad dream, may I sleep with you?' Then you will say, 'Yes, yes, you may."

Every night.

The written word doesn't convey his matter of fact tone or the delight in his voice when he says, "You will say, 'Yes, yes, you may." It's pretty funny though.

I'm also delighted that he knows the difference between "can" and "may." He may look like Chad, but he clearly is displaying his mom's love of grammar at a young age.

  1. So funny! I am impressed with his grammar...definitely above average for a 3.5 year old. :)

    Hope you are feeling good! I guess you are starting to count the days...it will be here before you know it. :)
