Bedtime Routine

My aunt Joannie gave Justin a pop-up tent to play with. It had been in the back den area in our house. I moved it yesterday up to his bedroom to replace the bassinet filled with stuffed animals that he never seemed to pay attention to. He immediately thought this was a cool place to be. He put a pillow, a bunch of blankets, the biggest stuffed animal dog he had (he likes to wrestle with it), and a hand-me-down toy lantern that we got from a family Kaki babysits for. So before his naps and bedtime, he and I get in his tent, lay down on our palette, turn on the lantern, and have a pretend camp out experience while we read a few books. He loves it, and I have to admit that I enjoy the change of scenery from the normal bedtime routine. He giggles as we keep reading "one more book". I haven't had a chance to take a picture yet, so this post is just words. Just wanted to share our fun new routine.
