. . . to read bedtime stories to Lily?  The answer is simple, Derek.  He is getting to be more trouble than I can even keep up with, let alone handle :).  As I was reading to her tonight, he kept climbing on his bed, standing on the rail, and trying to pull the lamp off Lily's dresser.  I would hop up and run over to stop him, to which he would leap onto the bed – with a crazy Ninja roll, I might add – laughing hysterically.  What do you do?

When I finally got that to stop after a few time-outs, he began emptying Lily's shelves.  So then, I pulled him onto her bed, hoping he would read with us, but all he kept doing was climbing over Lily trying to reach her alarm clock.  I just can't win.

 Oh, and while I am posting, I thought I'd show you Lily's "special quilt," that her Grandma Valerie made for her.  She LOVES it, and has to use it ever night on her bed :).  She is a girl after her daddy's own heart.

PS.  While I was typing this, Derek dumped out my church bag and emptied out my primary binder . . . really?
