Part of Tru’s bedtime routine consists of me laying down in his bed with him and telling him a couple of stories. We always read a few books out in the living room, but when it’s time to lay down, I usually go with him and tell some made-up stories. Often times, when I’m done telling stories, he’ll want to tell me some. The stories he tells are usually the same ones that I just got done telling him, but he puts his own spin on them. The other night I told him a story that included a train engine going to another town to pick up donuts for the station master. When Tru told the same story, he changed the donuts to ‘free cucumbers.’ Kinda says something about his awareness of the seasons, since our garden has had cucumbers out the yin yang and we’ve been giving them away. 🙂
