Night Owl Brookie

I'm laughing now, but not 5 minutes earlier. It is 10 at night and I'm checking on the girls before I close their door for the night. It is dark and I'm counting 1, 2, ...and no 3! I get a flashlight out and can't find Brooke. Her bed has transformed into a canopy of babies and animals and no sign of Brooke. Sage and Libby are sound asleep. My heart is racing now and I start to call her name in a loud whisper and she starts to giggle, that contagious giggle (the lights are still out). I can't help but laugh and just hug her and shed a tear that she is WIDE awake changing her nightgown behind the door.

I asked her why she wasn't asleep and she said she was making a place for her babies.


It gets more comical. I tell her she needs to go to bed and she kisses me goodnight. One minute later she comes back and asks if she can sleep in my bed tonight since there is no "ROOM" in hers.
My one wish is that they never grow up :( I have the best job!

I LOVE the crazy and cute things they come up with! SO sweet! I know what you mean about hoping they never grow up. I used to tell Gavin that when he was a baby, but he's not listening!
