Sleeping Beauty

So this is what "bed check" revealed tonight. The new thing this week is to get out of bed and "change" before going to sleep. So this is Francesca minus her pajama bottoms -- but with the addition of black tights and a Princess tutu. She is snuggled next to her Belle doll, holding Pink Bear, with a rhythm stick firmly in her grasp (?). And did I mention the pink fake fur purse stuffed with plastic food that is also in there with her???

When you are 41 you collapse into bed at the end of another exhausting day of work and family. When you are 2, it is simply a continuation of the celebration that is your life. Bedtime can be fun. Big fun. And I always try to remember how exciting life must be with a roommate who is just 1 year older and ready for adventure.

They are sisters and they are friends. And they are having a marvelous time. Especially at bed time.

Maybe I should slip into a tutu tonight.....
