Whoa. Where's This Coming From?

So there we are sitting at the dining table working on our table of 7, when TLG asks,

"Is my dad partying at night and drinking alcohol?" "What?! Of course not!"I say. I am

genuinely shocked that my little guy is asking me this. "My friend

X says his dad goes out to parties at night and drinks alcohol. X doesn't like it. So he formed

 the 'I Hate It When My Dad Parties And Drinks Alcohol Club'."

Then three hours later, "Can a brother marry his sister?"

Another Bedtime Moment

In bed. Lights off.

TLG:   "You know Mom E loves me more then she loves you."

Me:   "Is that so? How do you know?"

TLG:   "I saw it on TV. It's a fact. Grandmother's love their grandchildren more then their own children.

             TV never lies. If it did it would be called the Fiction Box."

            

Is That So?

Bedtime. Pitch black.

"You know just because your eyes are closed, doesn't mean your asleep."

*sigh*

Goodbye's

. . . and just like that 4.30 a.m. came and went.

Bedtime - Not.

It's nearly ten p.m. I am letting TLG stay up later then usual.
M. will be returning to Moscow early Tuesday morning.
Father and son are watching TLG's video on deadly bugs
and enjoying an in-bed snack of sliced apples and pomelo.
The doggies are here too. They also love family time.

We'll miss this.

Hide And Seek

We haven't played our bedtime game of hide and seek in a long time.

So it was a surprise when TLG said, "one more thing before bed please."

Under the covers he goes. For my part, I pat the duvet down while saying,

"Where are you? Is that TLG hiding under the covers? Peek a boo.

I see you!" And just like that, TLG  pokes his head out from under the duvet.

He's laughing like it's the most amazing thing ever. Now how can I not smile

with that.
