The other night Nicholas was out with a friend and still not home at bedtime. Julia, who doesn't like to sleep alone, shares a room right now with Nicholas. She started to cry at bedtime saying she wanted Nicholas with her because she was scared. Gianna looked up at her and said, "Julia, I'm not afraid of DUDES!" (Instead of monsters.)
As I tuck Julia and Nicholas in at night, they like to compliment me and Danny by saying we're as beautiful or handsome as this or that. They get quite creative. My favorite one recently was Nicholas when he said, "Mom, you're as beautiful as a flower in a field of weeds."
