When I put Ryder to bed tonight, Luke joined us. Ryder and I have our own little bedtime routine. He chooses a book that I read to him in the rocking chair. We sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, hum the batman theme song, hum the Star Wars theme song, and then sing Hush, Little Baby. Then Ryder turns the light off and jumps into bed. I lay down with him to ask him if he had a good day and to tell me what his favorite part was. Then we sing one more song, Go to sleep little baby. It's a lot to do just to put a little three year old to bed, but I love this time with him. It was even sweeter tonight to be holding Ryder on my lap in the rocking chair with his arms tight around Luke. He sang all the songs to Luke. And he didn't want Luke to leave. He kept asking if Luke could just sleep in bed with him. Of course my answer was no to which he would say, "Aww, but I love him!"
