The last several nights as I tuck Josiah into bed and say goodnight, he calls me back into his room right after I close the door… "Yes, Josiah?" "Go downstairs and cook eggs and talk to Mama and Mama will help you." "Okay, buddy. Good night!" Turns out what Mama and Papa do at night after the kids are in bed isn't any of the things we thought we do - clean up the living room, do the dishes, wipe off the dinner table, relax, visit, catch up, watch a DVD, email friends, or Facebook. To our oldest, at least, the nightly ritual involves cooking eggs. Same same.
