Early to bed...
He stood up in the bathtub and, dripping arms outstretched, spoke the five words I thought I'd never hear him use in the same sentence: "Mama, put me to bed."
"Do you want to brush your teeth first, or just go straight to bed?"
"Straight to bed," he mumbled as I bundled him in warm, dry towels.
Must have something to do with the half-hour we spent outside being pod racers. Or maybe it was his industrious digging around the roots of the big oak tree out back. Or perhaps the hour-long bike ride tuckered him out. Surely it wasn't the twenty minutes sitting in front of the washing machine in the outdoor utility room, watching the laundry go 'round and 'round! But all of the above is definitely related to the gorgeous weather we've been having. Finally, being out-of-doors is pleasant again!
The only downside to this lovely day is... I'm ready to go to bed early, too! 'Nighty-night!
