I took a series of photos while Dave read a bedtime story to Eleanor and Genevieve the other night. They scrambled up to the top bunk, while Daddy read the perennial favorite, "Bad Kitty." (Or, as Eleanor likes to say, "Bu hao mao!") Sarah has grown into an avid reader on her own, and has her nose in her own book by this time of night, too! Personally, I've been trying to read Jane Goodall's biography, but always end up drowsy by a few sentences in; nothing against Jane, of course, but I seem to be pretty beat by bedtime! (Gennie looks tired to me in these pictures, too - we've been trying to get everybody in bed by 8:00, which requires starting the process around 7:00! Especially considering the multiple trips they make to ask for a glass of water, to go to the bathroom, to complain that their sister is making weird noises... you get the idea.) I'm realizing that Eleanor doesn't have her glasses on for either of the last two posts - Gennie's birthday on April 3rd was before her opthalmologist appointment, and she always likes to take her glasses off at bedtime. She's actually been very good about wearing them during the day, though!
