Unprecedented Bedtime

So this evening a couple of friends came over to watch Twilight while Josh was at the HUB (Wednesday night service @ UBC.) We began the movie about 7:00 so both kids were awake, Lilli went down relatively easily before 8:00. Roy usually goes to bed about 8:30 but when 8:30 came and I asked him if he was ready for bed he declined so I let him stay up a bit longer. At 8:45 I told him he could play for 5 more minutes and set a timer. I explained that when it beeped it was time for bed. A couple minutes in to it I noticed him walk away from his train table and head to his bedroom. A few seconds later I heard a small frustrated voice saying "nigh-nee, paci!" so I went to check on him to see what he was up to. What I found amazed me, he was in his bed looking for his pacifier so he could go to sleep! After finding him a new pacifier he said goodnight to our friends and hopped back in bed where I tucked him in, said his prayers and kissed him goodnight. I can only pray that all parents experience a bedtime as fluid as tonight! A minute or so after I sat back down to finish the movie, the timer went off.

Wii/Wee

Well although the Wii has invaded many families, the Carneys are not one of them. We have been invaded by another 'Wee'. Roy has affectionately dubbed his slide and his swing as the Wees. This behavior is perfectly acceptable within the boundaries of our own house but you take this Wee talk to the playground and we have problems. A couple of days ago Roy was playing on a slide at Chick-fil-a and told his daddy he wanted to go on the Wee another child exclaimed "That's not a Wii!" It's a good thing Roy doesn't take criticism seriously yet.

Roy's brush in with a real Wii-Roy's only personal experience with a true blue Wii was at our friend Holly and Britt's house. He's in a stage where he loves money, loves to look for it every where we go and when he finds it he saves it until he can find a bank. Well, while at Britt and Holly's he discovered a bank and Holly graciously got him out a big bucket of change to transfer into the bank. Of course Roy was in heaven and was thoroughly entertained for a good 20 min (an eternity in 2 year old time). Unfortunately the next time I checked in on him I realized that he was finding new places to slide the coins including their Wii! I stopped him before depositing a nickle but unfortunately a dime had already made the decent into the belly of the Wii. After fully disassembling it and finally digging inside with a cardboard 'hook' thankfully the dime was retrieved. Roy certainly hasn't collected enough loose change to cover the cost of replacing a real Wii.

Here's a cute video of Lilli's first experience with a 'Wee' Roy was happy to help her fully enjoy it.
