Good Night Chasen

Bed time is getting more and more interesting with this kid.
We send him upstairs at 8pm and let him watch Woody (toy story), Chuggington, Caillou, or Up! and every night when we go to bed around 9:30 or 10:00 he is still awake and ready to go!
It used to be that we would turn on one of our "boring" shows and he would fall asleep. But the past 2 nights he has wanted to sleep with us and by 11 we are both so tired we just let him in bed until he fell asleep (which was pretty quick on the first night)
The first night I rolled over and told him I was going to sleep and he better shut his eyes.
Next thing I know I feel his sticky, clammy little hand around my neck and he kisses my cheek and says "good night mama"
talk about melt your heart! OMG I could just eat him up!
Last night same thing he gets in bed with us except this time he wouldn't stay still.
So I asked him to tell me a bed time story.
He thought for a moment and came up with
"story and the dell a story and the dell hi ho da darrie O da story an the dell"
(to the tune farm and the dell of course)
what a smart clever little dude!
Then he sang me Rudolph and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
After that I told him I was going to bed and rolled over.
Next thing I know I feel his sticky, clammy little hand around my neck and he kisses my cheek and says "sweet dreams"
Ean and I almost died.
He sure knows how to melt my heart:)
Unfortunately after that he would not lay still and I had to put him in his bed where he cried for a few minutes.
It didn't seem fair after all the sweet pillow talk and serenading!

Ean is going to finish our room this weekend so this will be our last week(i really hope) all in the same room.
Thant just means Chasen will wander into our room in the middle of the night *sigh*
maybe this is why he can't sleep at night! It kinda creeps me out!
