I have to share this...Every night when the kids go to bed, we have a little bedtime routine...They go to the bathroom, brush their teeth, wash their face & then say good-night to Daddy. Then they go to their rooms & they each get a bedtime story & then we say prayers. With Becky we have been reading a chapter a night in books from the Little House on the Prairie series ~ but, Matthew is a different story...(No pun intended!)
Lately, he has been wanting me to "tell him a story from my mind" ~ The day after we went to the aquarium I told him a story about a little boy shark living in the aquarium and how he was sad because he wanted to live in the ocean instead, but then his Shark Daddy tells him to look at all of the humans on the other side of the glass (especially a little human boy named Matthew) & how happy he is to see the sharks & then the boy shark realizes that he has a very important job and all is well in the undersea world again. Now, every night Matthew wants me to tell him the same story, except he keeps wanting me to add parts to the story about what we did that day - Like last night...I kept saying "The End" & Matthew kept saying - Now tell me the part about when we went to the gift shop...Now tell me the part about how we got ice cream...Now tell me the part about when I hugged Grandee...and he's so cute when he looks up at me with those big brown eyes I keep telling him!
I just think it's so funny that no matter how many great story books Matthew has on his bookshelf to pick from each night, he'd rather hear me tell the "story" about the little boy shark and our adventure that day at the boardwalk...He cracks me up!
