Night, Night Charlie

Putting Charlie to bed is always a challenge. That kid has more excuses to stay awake than anyone. He will procrastinate and drag out the process no matter what it takes as long as it means a little more time with us. Nick usually gets Charlie in pjs, brushes his teeth, and reads books while I take care of Jack's night time routine. After I tuck Jack in, it is my turn to tuck Charlie in for the night.

Tonight, he was pulling out all the stops: extra kisses, more water, looking for the moon, etc. After indulging him for over twenty minutes, I put him in his crib and told him that play time was over, to which he replied, "Wait a minute. I am talking to my momma." Sheesh! Just when I was starting to lose my patience, he had to go and say something so darn cute. That line definitely bought him a few extra minutes tonight.
