Derek has had bunk beds for quite awhile now. When he didn't, most night, especially since he starting living with us, I would lay with him and sing songs...and we would tell stories together. I would start a made up story and then it would be his turn to continue it etc...same with songs, or I would sing our/my favorites. Last night, he was bathing and I was in his bottom bunk (after shoving to the side, dozens of cars to make room for me). He was doing his usual singing and noises in the tub..then he let me know he was washing his penis..lol...and then bath time ended and I let him/taught him how to dry himself off..then he went and got dressed. He knew I had been on his bed and he was excited to join me. He went to the top bunk..got his pillow..then went up again and got his blanket. For about 20 minutes, we sang and shared our long lost bedtime routine.
