like white on rice...

last night was a late night for justin at work so by the time he got home the kids were "in bed" and mama was d.o.n.e.
shortly after justin walked in the door, cole came down for what must have been the 5th time. which is pretty unusual, he goes to bed like a champ normally (unless it's craft night and he knows there is a party happening without him). I am sure his sruggle last night was merely the fact that he wanted his daddy. so as I turned to tell him it was time to go to bed, justin was all over it (...like white on rice!).
he told cole it was time for bed, but that daddy wanted to come upstairs to tuck him in again. a few seconds later I heard giggling and two story tellers going at it. each taking turns adding to their story about dinasaurs and such. it was tender and made me
sit, smile, and listen.
justin is so cute with them. he acts like a kid with them when it's just what they need.
so we have our share of forts, tall tales, and fighting over blocks to build towers.
and I love it.

That is cute. I also have to restrain myself from telling the boys to go to sleep when Brad is in there making up stories with them. Must be a Daddy thing, to tell ridiculous stories to each other rather than going to bed!
