Drew's Favorite Bedtime Story



If you have young kids, and you don't own this book......you need to get it together! Every night, every nap, it's the same thing.....we go through a few books, and then it's time. Time for the dinosaur book. We read it, usually just once, but sometimes twice....rarely three times. Drew pays close attention to every page. Does a dinosaur slam his tail and pout......he shakes his head no. Then we arrive at the page with the bike.....BIKE! he proclaims. Next is the goldfish, in the tiny little tank in the background...Drew makes his lips like a fish, followed with a hilarious sucking noise. We get to the end of the book, the part that goes... No, dinosaurs don't, they don't even try. They give a big kiss( he arches his head back...mouth wide open). They turn out the light..(he points to the lamp) they whisper Goodnight. This is the when Drew points to the crib, to let us know that he is ready for bed. It goes like this, every night. I want to thank my Grandma Charland, for this wonderful book, that has saved us countless hours of battle...OK maybe if we didn't have it, Drew would have picked a different favorite book. But maybe not:)
