A couple quick bedtime stories
Luke, at the start of tuck-in:
"Goosey Goosey Gander, wither shall I wander
Upstairs and downstairs and in my lady's chamber
There I met an old man who would not say his prayers
I took him by the left leg and threw him down the stairs."
Me: "Good job with the nursery rhyme, Bubs."
Luke: "I'm saying it because there is a message."
Me: "What's the message?"
Luke: "We need to say our prayers!"
And...we have a book, Emily Brown, which I love. It's about a girl's love for her stuffed rabbit and how the value in the rabbit is that it's been loved so much it's all flippy-floppy and worn and a funny color, etc.
Zo, at tuck-in last night: "Mama, I'm all flippy-floppy, because I've been loved so much."
