Who is Amanda??

A couple of nights ago, we were going through the regular bed-time routine with the boys... you know- where you put them in bed all nice and sweet, and they proceed to make noise, call out for drinks and extra kisses. Well, almost 2 hours later Paul finally dozed off but Nick and Drew were still going strong. The two little ones proceeded to come out into the hallway and eventually crept into the front room where Josh and I were. They were sent back to bed several times and finally got threatened with getting their bottoms swatted.

Not too many minutes later Nick snuck back out into the front room and so Josh exaggeratedly started moving toward him like he was going to follow through on the threat to swat him.

Nick began shrieking "NO Daddy! NO! Mom! Wait! MOM!!!"

I say "WHAT Nick? What is it?"

And he says "Um.... I'm not very tired yet...."

So Josh moves toward him faster.

Nick squeals even louder, this time the urgency in his voice is unbelieveably fierce "NOOO! DADDY! Wait! I know what!! I know what!! I know what!! I have to tell you something!!!"

Again, we ask him "WHAT?"

And he says ever so calmly "Um... Is Amanda a good guy name or a bad guy name?"

LOL

At this point Josh chases him back to bed and uses his sternest voice on him, whilst I bury my face in my blanket & try to muffle my laughing.

(SIGH)That kid.

*Just so you know, Nick doesn't even KNOW an Amanda. Where does he come up with this stuff?!

I love the things kids do to get out of going to bed...when it's not MY Kids:)

that's so funny. Kids, the things they say, and trying to keep them in bed...what do you do? I'm just glad to see that I'm not the only one who has those issues!
