I’m not sure what’s come over Lex lately,
\n but I’m not complaining! He is overcome with pure love lately!
\n He pretty much put himself to bed tonight. We did an early bath
\n today (playing out in the mud this afternoon) and then had
\n dinner. I was going to let them play until 7:00pm then start
\n stories, but at 6:30 he cleaned up his toys and asked me to
\n read him stories. After the usual two stories he said it was
\n time for teeth. We brushed and read one more story and then he
\n said it was time for bed. Just barely 7:00pm! So he and I went
\n up and he asked me to lay with him for two songs (he still
\n falls asleep to Barenaked Ladies). I laid down and he grabbed
\n me and hugged me and grabbed my face (note to self: time to
\n clip his nails!) and kissed me over and over and over. I
\n couldn’t stop laughing. Sooo adorable :) Then he asked if I’d
\n hold his hand, so I did. Who can resist that! Back in the days
\n of bedtime battles, we went through a phase where he always
\n wanted me to lay down with him. I did, for a long time, but
\n usually hated it because after the battle I just wanted to go
\n downstairs and have “me” time. Now that he goes to bed so
\n sweetly, on the occaisions that he asks Alan or I to lay down
\n with him we’re both happy to oblige! It’s nice to spend a few
\n more minutes with the super sweet boy before he falls asleep.
\n I’m sure this too is just a phase, but I am loving
\n it!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
