Glasses

Since I'm in the thick of it and utterly and completely exhausted from thinking about the many many battles I've fought today, I thought I'd share a story from the weekend:

I sat down on Eli's carpet to read a few books before naptime. Eli has a whole set-up he must prepare: blanket, book(s), and two large stuffed animal 'pillows'. One for him and one for the reader. So he gets his space ready and then we start the books. After a few moments, Eli also told me "I need da glasses on! I kint see da story...I need glasses!" This is, no doubt, in response to my dad reading to him before bedtime last week (as Grandpa Jim needs glasses to read). Sponges, they are!
