Night Night Sleepy Baby
I love getting to stay home with Dean during this summer break. It is so much fun to sit back and watch him explore his world. I particularly enjoy Dean’s night time routine. After eating dinner I’ll ask him if he wants to play in the bubbles. Dean responds with a very enthusiastic “Bubuls” and heads right for the bathtub. After a good soak, scrub, and playtime Dean cuddles up into a towel and lays his wet little head on my chest. It’s one of those melt your heart moments. My busy boy has taken a moment to rest and cuddle with me. After wrestling him into his PJs we head to the kitchen for some milk and books. Dean takes off for the couch after I give him his milk saying, “book”, “book”, “book”. Like I’ve somehow forgotten what we do every night! We typically read about 4 books while Dean slowly unwinds and sinks further and further into the couch. After the last book I pick him up for one last good snuggle and carry him off to bed saying night night to everything along the way. And then he screams! Ah, it was peaceful for a moment… I love that little man and his evening routine. Goodnight moon, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere.
Here’s my little sleeper…the pictures not the best but I figure I get props for sneaking in his room and taking one in the first place. I quietly prayed that he would not wake up the entire time I was in there.

nothing is sweeter than a sleeping baby.
