Bedtime Excuses

The boys like to pray before bedtime & they can get rather silly. Lucas, at 2.5 years old, thinks it's hilarious to thank God for poop. Usually I do not put up with it but his adorable belly laugh was cracking me up. 

"dear God, thank you for mommy. (Hugs me). Thank you for ... Mommy (hugs me). Thank you for daddy. Thank you for Jordan. Thank you for .... Poop!! Hahahahaha. Thank you for poop!!" - Lucas 

Jordan chimes in with: "thank you for pee!" I give him a look. "No mom, I'm thanking God for the letter P" 5 year olds should not be this clever. 

After prayers come the usual bedtime excuses.  Usually I'm frustrated but tonight was amusing. 

"Mom I hit Lucas in the eye but I said sorry" 

"Mom Lucas climbed in my bed and jumped on me". 

"Mom my blanket is messed up" "mommy I tripped on my blanket and have an owie" 

"my blanket is in the crib, I can't get it" "mommy I want my dump truck" 

"mom I want music"
