We read to Little Man every night before bed. "They" say it helps calm them before they go to bed. "They" have never met my son.
His choice this evening was the nursery rhyme This Old Man. He was not content to have me read the book. No, I had to sing it. Give the kid some time. In a year or two he'll realize I am completely tone deaf and it is not a good idea to have me sing.
Daddy decided to play knick knack paddy whack on his knees as I read. Sorry - sing. Little Man jumped down and proceeded to knick knack paddy whack his knees, his thighs, the door, and daddy. Getting more rambunctious as he went.
"They" would say getting a child riled up that close to bed time is not a good idea. Good thing "they" are not raising my son. So he didn't curl up and go right so sleep when I laid him down but he hasn't piped up once yet. Hmm.... that may have been a snore I just heard.
"They" can keep their advice. This is a knick knack paddy whacking house (my Irish ancestors are so proud).
