Every night before Railey goes to bed, I read two books to her. Her favorites come in cycles, and tonight I decided to try to introduce a new book to her....it is a book of one minute goodnight stories.
The one minute story that we read tonight was about the messy gnome who hides childrens toys if they leave their playroom messy. I was VERY excited about this theme because cleaning up toys has become a major point of discussion between me and Railey.
When the story was over, I told Railey that she needed to be more careful about leaving her toys out. She was quiet for a minute, turned to me and said, "Mommy, can you watch my toys tonight since I didn't clean them up?" I told her that I would watch them tonight (the LAST thing I wanted was for her to get out of bed to clean). But then, after thinking about it for a minute, she said "Mommy can you go clean my toys up?"
For some reason, I think that the moral of the story went RIGHT OVER Railey's head. And from now on, I bet she will make sure that I am cleaning up her toys every night so the messy gnome doesn't hide one of them.....
