Getting ready for bed

We try to keep the boys on a schedule, as best we can (makes it so much easier when Derek is out of town). Lately Hatcher has really enjoyed the whole ordeal and "races" with Aidan and Daddy, who gives baths to both boys almost every night he is in town, to see who can get undressed first. When that game ends...it is who wants to shampoo their hair first, and go figure, Hatcher always says - "Aidan does Daddy!"

Hatcher will still on occasion use the potty on his own, but in the evenings it is more of the act of sitting on the potty and then getting to flush. He is the best at using the potty in the morning. I am trying to make a book about the potty for both he and Aidan, so I took the cutest picture of Hatcher on the potty.

And...as many of you know...everyone still ends up in our bed every morning. Hatcher starts the night in his room and on good nights makes it until 3 or 4 am, but something rouses him and he comes into our room. He has been suffering from bad allergies and night terrors, so the combination of not being comfortable and being scared makes for long nights for everyone. So you will see in the last photo...that is where Hatcher ends up. And every morning at 7, Hatcher will sit up and tell each one of us Good Morning, and then ask to watch the Wiggles!
