Night Time Games

Lately we've been fighting to find just the right bedtime routine for the little guy.  Let's just say every night is an adventure.  I'm sure it's just his age and in time it will pass.  At least we get a good laugh each night at the new things he comes up with.  And since laughter is good for the soul I'll take all I can get, for now anyway!
Currently the routine is pretty simple, bathe, teeth, and he gets a few minutes of TV before lights out.  Then starts the drama.....a few things we hear are:
I need a drink
I need to go potty
Can you come here for a second? (and how can you deny that sweet little voice)
I need to tell you something......then stares at you with a blank look on his face when you ask what it is he needs to tell you. 
My knee hurts, along with several other body parts if that one doesn't get your attention. =)
This past week I was called because there was an issue with Buzz Lightyears space hood....it wouldn't shut all the way and Buzz couldn't sleep like that.  Well turns out a little piece of the plastic was broke so after 5 minutes we finally convinced him Buzz would be able to go to sleep and we would check on him shortly. Finally everyone went to sleep, including Buzz. 

Alex loves to play with either one of our iPhones or the iPad. We have loaded games and movies just for him.  My DH jokes that he can work the gadgets better that he can!  Sometimes he's right.  =)  One favorite game is Cover Orange.  The object of the game is to cover the orange(s) and protect them from the cloud that drops acid rain.  It is actually a good little game that teaches logic.  He plays for a while until he gets stuck than asks me to help him.   Last night we played for a bit and I was moving some of the objects around, he was telling me that I was doing it wrong.  Hmmm, you asked me for help right???  Well turns out he was right, and I ended up getting the "See, I told ya so."  Ok, smarty pants. 

The sun is shining bright today! Something we haven't seen for a while so we are off to play for the weekend.  Have a great weekend and Valentines!
