Every night since Calvin was about 1 year old, we have consistently read two books to him nearly every night. They are "Pajama Time" and "The Going to Bed Book" - both by Sandra Boynton. Of course during this time certain rituals developed. For instance, at the end of "Pajama Time," we get progressively quieter on the final phrases:
IT'S PAJAMA TIME!
Hush, Hush
It's pajama time!
Hush, hush
it's pajama time!
shhhhhhh
Then I get right next to Calvin's ear and just loud enough to be heard by him, I say the final two lines:
good night
sleep tight
The past month or so, we've been having Calvin "read" the book. It's just him reciting the sounds that he's grown accustomed to hearing on each page, but it is just TOO PRECIOUS!
Anyways, tonight, we got to that last part of "Pajama Time" and (for the first time) Calvin gets up next to my ear and does "good nite, sleep tight."
I just melted like butter!!!
