Don’t Look At Me!
When you have kids, they can catch you in some pretty interesting situations. Like when Daddy is cheating on his diet and trying to be all sneaky by eating peanut butter with a spoon right out of the jar and I suddenly hear, “Can I have some Daddy?” Or when I’m reaching for the tooth that fell out that day to replace it with something shiny and someone rolls over and asks, “What are you doing?” so I have to pretend that I just came into the room to make sure he was OK. LOL
A couple of years ago when we were staying at Disney World, I was just stepping out of the shower when Jackson walked into the bathroom. I quickly grabbed the towel and said, “Don’t look at me, I’M NAKED!” and I ran out of the bathroom. Next thing I know, Jackson is chasing after me screaming, “I’m LOOKING at YOU!” Ever since that day, every night at bath time in our house we have the “Don’t look at me, I’m naked” and run around the house game. So when I came across the picture below, it cracked me up!
These are the moments that I treasure. Both boys running around naked screaming right before bed. Of course, when our dog Gizmo starts howling and going crazy as well, I know the neighbors must wonder what the heck is going on in that house!




Does it tire them out? Or does it backfire and tire you out and leave them wired? lol
It’s been hit and miss at times. Peyton will cry a little anyway when you put him down, but then passes out. Jackson is always super wild at night before bed so we do a lot of things to help him relax and calm down like reading a story, playing music, and even spraying a pillow mist with lavender.
