  Snow, Milk, Teeny Weeny, and Itty Bitty

  Tonight is one of Aaron's school nights. The kids have been good, thankfully, but were extremely hyper at bedtime. I wasn't sure what I was going to do. They were running around the bedroom like insane banshees. Even their milk and bedtime story were being ignored. Remembering something my younger siblings used to enjoy, I caught each of them by an arm and got them to hold still for 2 seconds. I told them to pick two stuffed animals from their animal box and bring them to me. Cherith chose two white kittens. Daryn brought two tiny little puppies. After naming the kittens Snow and Milk and the puppies Teeny Weeny and Itty Bitty, I had them sit down on the floor, drink their milk, and watch the show. It was lots of fun to make up stories about the critter foursome and the kids thought it was great and enjoyed getting involved. I think the highlight of the evening was Daryn illustrating how a puppy sniffs along the floor looking for food.

  Ah, good memories!
