Reflections

Last night I crawled into bed with my boys to read bedtime stories and Max brought a book called, "Time for Bed Otto". This was Nolen's FAVORITE book when he was two. We had to read it EVERY night and he had it memorized and would say most of it while I turned the pages. Its a cute story about a dog that doesn't want to go to bed so he tries different things to get sleepy. Finally he lays down and thinks about all the things he loves to do and then he falls asleep. Anyway, last night Max read this book to me. It was kind of bitter-sweet for that book to come full circle like that. A book that little toddler Nolen was obsessed with and now Max is big enough to read it himself. If I was mushier, I probably would have cried!!!
