Bedtime antics.
This is Sunday.
I put them to bed. I snuggle them down. Noah has Ted and Ivy’s arms cling tightly around BokBok, boa also in hand.
They are so not ready to settle but I sit with them anyhow, willing them to go to sleep.
As twins they have the right, it seems, to suddenly start a banter of toddler babble back and forth over parental heads.
David is grotty. He has spent the afternoon mowing the toys lawn. He is sighing and fidgeting, so I send him off to the shower.
Soon they start singing;
Ivy; “Ooh Wiggywiggywiggy! Oohh wiggywiggywiggy! Givemethatgivemethatgivemethat cheese!”
Noah: “Ro - ock uh byeeee bahbee, onthetreetop! When de win bloessss (growling) cradlewillrock… I throw de rock Mummy”?
Me: “No, Noah, we don’t throw rocks, now go to sleep. Close your eyes”.
Noah: Pulls lids of eyes down manually, “I carrrrrn’t”.
Me: “Shoosh”. (smiling not so inwardly).
Noah: “Sauce? I like de sauce, Mummy”.
Me: “Not sauce No - No, shoosh.
Noah: (singing) Shoosh? Sauce! Sauce, sauce, sauce, sauce!
Ivy: (interjects) “Shoes“!
Noah: “Shoes? Yes! Shoes, sauce, sauce, sauce, shoes, sauce”,
Ivy: (interjecting again) “Shorts!”
Noah: “Sauce, sauce, sauce, shorts, sauce, shoes, sauce, sauce, sauce sauce. No - ot shoosh!”
David comes back from the shower and I leave.
I have to.
I am laughing so hard, my insides hurt.
Sauce!
LMFAO great word association happening there !
They’ve got the right priorities - Ivy with clothes and Noah with food LOL.
That is hilarious… you must be in stitches all the time.
oh that is priceless! Also makes me feel more positive about my two chatting for an hour and a half after lights out last night….
Oh my God, those two are so funny! and you know laughter is the best stress reliever ever, even better than sex.
SHOES!!!! Lurve that girl even more.
Heeheehee! Love those toddlers of yours!
Sauce! Of course.
hehehehehe Great post… (((hugs))) Sweet dreams Tiff..

LOL!!!!!! Oh. My. Goodness!!! They would never get any sleep at my house… everyone would just have an all night giggle-fest! THAT was hillarious, Tiff… whew! Think I broke a rib or something…
LMFAO!! How hilarious!! I’d have been cracking up too!! Oh my. Kids are wonderful, aren’t they?
Great stuff. The kids are so funny. But I don’t know about what RIVER said - I don’t think laughter is a better stress reliever than sex. I mean, just try laughter during sex and see what happens.
Depends on the type of stress I suppose.
I think I am commenting on the wrong post, but I am a simple thing and the comments on top always goof me up.
It is true that I am a new-ish groupie over here, but even in my short time around your joint, I think I should have a clue about who William is.
Um, who is William? And he died? I think I am nervous to get that answer, but I really wanted to ask.
Oh dear lord, woman. Don’t answer that. I found the page.
There are no words. I am so sorry for you.
