Here's how it played out.
Scene: Emanuel and Symphony sitting on my lap. Betsy playing on floor next to us.
Emanuel: Mommy, can I have some more juice?
Me: No son, It's almost bedtime, so no more juice today.
Sophie: (jumping up and running towards room) Pillow, blanket, binkie!?!
Me: okay sweetie, mommy will put you down.
Emanuel: Can I go to bed too?
Me: Sure
(Emanuel runs to room)
At this point Beatrix pipes in with her tired cry, whick I interpretted as: "please mommy, don't forget about me, I'm tired too!")
Scene: Kid's room with two oldest children. Mommy is lowering Sophie into her bed with night night prayers and kisses.
Emanuel: Oh! Mommy, can I have a fresh diaper?
Me: Absolutely!
( Emanuel leaves rooom)
Scene: Living room diaper changing station. Emanuel lays on changing pad with diaper in hand)
I change diaper, change him into his jammies, kiss him and tell him what a precious son he is.
Emanuel trots off to bed, I follow, tuck him in.
Emanuel : Night Night mommy! Love you! See you in the morning!
Sophie: Nigh Nigh! Wuvvu! Morning!
I leave room, put Betsy down and she immediately falls asleep, no fussing.
Thanks Lord. I needed that!

Oh, my gosh. All these months that I've looked on here in the faint hope that you'd updated, and somehow I MISSED the first three posts! Great ones, by the way. So much fun to read about the kids and your life in general. I love you all very much, and hope you're enjoying (as much as a sickie can) having mom up there with you this week. Give the kids a kiss from Aunt Carrie. <3
