why i don't put b to bed at night...

last night after dinner, the mr. had to go back out to run the tractor for a while longer.

he kissed the girls goodnight (as he was going to be gone when they went to bed) and off he went.

i was dreading bedtime.

you see,  the mr. puts b to bed at night.

it's their special thing.

the times i've attempted putting b in bed when the mr. hasn't been home before have always been disastrous.

it will usually involve multiple trips into her room to either put her back in bed or to find out why she's crying this time.

when bedtime rolled around, i got them ready for bed, fed m and put her in bed.

surprisingly, no troubles there.

then i went back and read b a couple of stories and put her in bed.

no problems there either...or so i thought.

when the mr. got home, he comes in and asks, "did you know b's light is on?"

i answer no, so he goes in to check on her and turn it off.

a couple minutes later he comes back and says, "are you going to come with me to see your daughter?"

and this is what he found:

notice the ruffly socks on her hands.

and what you don't see...the ruffly socks on her feet to match.

thankfully, she didn't strip her diaper off with her pajamas too.
