Last night, about 8:30pm, thirty minutes after Dallas' extremely loose "bedtime", Dallas wanted to play a game called Barnyard Bingo.
I didn't want to play with him (trying to unwind from work you know... and I was enjoying my time on the computer). Cam wasn't playing with him either, so we had Dallas go ask Jadon. Jadon was going to bed and therefore did not want to play as well.
What is a poor Dallas to do? He has Barnyard Bingo all out and ready as he sits by himself in the middle of the family room... just looking at it...
Until Dallas finds a friend.
Dallas picked up his Buzz Lightyear and asked, "Buzz you pay games wit me?" Buzz (or Dallas talking for Buzz) answered, "Yeah."
Dallas was so estatic. "Yay! Buzz you said yeah! Ok Buzz your turn." he said as he helped Buzz Lightyear take his turn by picking up a game piece. "Buzz you got boo tow (blue cow). Ok Buzz eye (my) turn." Dallas picked up his own game piece. "Buzz I got welwo iken (yellow chicken)."
Apparently playing for two is tiring, though, for that is all the farther Dallas made through his game with Buzz last night.
Part of me felt HORRIBLE for not playing with him (especially when he started playing with Buzz) but another part thought that this playing pretend would be good for him (and he did an awesome job taking turns!)
However thinking about it again this morning, I am a horrible mother and I could have played one, five-minute game with him...
Moral of the story: put your kids to bed on time.

Oh my goodness, he is talking so much now. I mis him and his adorable face. And no, you are not a horrible mother. On a random note, I love how you made the moral of the story be, "avoid those situations all together by making your child go to bed." Haha, love it.
