Oh wouldn't that just be awesome?!? That is what Nathan told the kids tonight after dinner. James replied with, "But I want to put YOU to bed."
"Really? Ok!" Daddy said back. James grabbed his hand, "pulled him" off of the couch and gently lead him to our bedroom and then told him to lay down. The whole time Nathan was trying to razz James by saying, "But I don't want to go to bed!", and all James would reply with was, "But it's almost night time."
As I was perusing facebook, I heard a beautiful rendition of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" bellowing through the downstairs hallways. It was so sweet, it almost made me cry.
A moment later, James came back out to me (sitting on the couch), and told me that he had put Dad to bed so he could get some rest.
"I want to go to bed too!" I told James. "But you have to carry me."
James said, "You're too big, so I have to hold your hand." Fair enough... fair enough.
He led me to bedroom saying, "Let's go to Mom and Dad's bed now." As soon as we got there, he told me, "Now lie down and I'll sing you Twinkle Twinkle." Daddy was already laying on the bed and Kaitlyn was in there keeping him company... quietly I'm sure.
"But I want Jesus!" I said (side note: Kaitlyn calls the song "Jesus Loves Me" by the first word: Jesus). James said, "Well we're not very good at that one so we're going to sing Twinkle."
"Ok, that's good with me." I replied.
James piped up with Twinkle Twinkle again, letting his voice bellow throughout the downstairs hallways. I grabbed Nathan's hand and held on to the moment, not wanting to let go. I looked at Nathan, he was looking at James and smiling. Oh... heaven on Earth.
