AK didn't want to take off her shoes or change out of her clothing into her pyjamas tonight. Because she was watching Dora on TV, I found her Dora pyjamas and brought them into the living room. I told her that that it would be really awesome if she put her Dora PJs on to watch Dora on TV. I got a big "no". So... I decided that I'd put on the Dora PJs! I put my arms through the holes of the shirt and put my head in as far as it would go. I used my hands to pat my hair and cover a "yawn". AK cracked up and said "no, that's MY PJs!". Off came her shirt and on went her PJ top. Next I put the bottoms on my feet and laid back on the couch. Another "No, Mommy, those are MINE!". We left AK's socks and panties on as they were also Dora and she was fully outfitted to watch some Dora before bed! It was so enjoyable to get so many giggles and laughs out of her.
AK did a great job of helping me floss her teeth and then brush them. She insisted that I brush my teeth as well using her toothpaste. Yum... bubble gum flavor. (I much prefer the cinnamon flavor I usually use!)
We read our usual couple of books before bed. AK has an "I Spy" book (thanks, Grandma Z!) that she can pretty much read to me - each page has the following format "I spy a XXX and a YYY" and she can tell me what each thing is. What is amazing is that she'll also "read" the descriptive adjectives (?) that go with each word and picture - it's not "I Spy a car", it's "I Spy a bright blue car". It amazes me what her brain is capable of, I know all the kids do it and it's just wonderful.
Sweet dreams! xo
