Bedtime with my kids...
Posted on 2007-01-30
If you have children, you know the ritual of bedtime. It can be short and sweet or long and drawn out. Take tonight for instance. The books are read. The covers are on (barely). And the eyes are beginning to close. All of a sudden...laughter. You know that simple yet disturbing noise. All is lost. Can I get control back? Is this a bad dream? Well, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Soon they will be too old to read to, tuck-in, and watch fall asleep. I want to savor these days. They are short. And I want to keep them as close as I possibly can.
