it's funny how someone so little can be so smart!
although he is just starting to REALLY communicate and is only months shy of 2 ... alex is VERY in tune with what is going on around him.
when i suggest that it's bedtime, things can go one of 2 ways:
1. i can leave drew and ben playing while i put alex to bed. alex gets sad and usually cries when i leave him in his crib.
2. i can have drew and ben pretend they are going to bed. they go lay in their beds and i take alex in to say good night to each of them. he walks away waving and saying "nite dew" "nite ba" and goes to his bedroom. he lays down nicely and goes to sleep.
basically ... he knows there is fun to be had if everyone else is still up and will do all he can to make sure he doesn't miss out!
he's a smart little guy. i will dare say he is smarter than his 2 older brothers. they are getting ready for bed right now and are clueless to the fact that in about 30 minutes we will be enjoying one of our favorite to go meals, watching a show that tivo has so faithfully recorded, and probably finishing it up with a few girl scout cookies!
now that's fun ... and unfortunately tonight they will already be asleep.
bummer. maybe next time boys ;)

When I put Katrina to bed she always insists that Papa go to bed too. If she thinks he is in his bed/our bed, she will go down much easier.
Poor Papa, I guess he will have to wait until we have another kid to be able to stay up after she goes to bed at 8:00. Just kidding! We trick her too!
You are a smart one, Alex!!! You seem like the kind of little boy who definitely doesn't want to miss out on ANY fun!!! :-)
