Getting June to bed these days is a lesson in patience. First, we have to get her upstairs. Then, brush her teeth to get the "gunk" out. Off to her bedroom where we must read at least three books before we can even think about getting her in the crib. Last night, we read "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear" together and I got her in by telling her that the line "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, go upstairs" meant climbing into her crib. Heh-heh, it worked. At least this time. Then we have to say our prayers, give each other a hug and finally, 30 minutes after this whole bedtime ritual started, I'm out the door...when the demands start. Mama, close the closet door. Mama, put away the books. Mama, move the diaper pad on the floor so it's this way, not that way. Mama, put the little potty back between the orange basket and my reading chair. Everything has to be just so, or else. Pretty funny coming from a kid who's only concept of "clean up" is to clean up her plate.

Oh Jen and Paul, Mark and I have so much to learn (hee hee).
Please post a new video...maybe with her favorite aunt & uncle? I thought June just could not get any cuter than her "cheese" video until spending 2 days with her. She is the "bomb" as my students would say.
love, monica
