Jammie Time

Hayes and Hawkins absolutely love pajamas!  In fact, we can get Hawkins excited about bedtime, just by putting on his pajamas.  I have previously posted about Hawkins also loving to role-play as a puppy.  Most nights, after putting his pajamas on, he will crawl to his bed on all fours making puppy sounds.  As we put him to bed, we must address him as "puppy".

Tonight, his pajamas of choice were covered in boats, sailboats, submarines, and anchors.  While I am dressing him, he was trying to tell me something about jumping in the water.  I was only half-listening and nodding because I could hear Holt in the living room starting to stir.  As he often does, he kept repeating himself until I acknowledged what he was saying.  However, the only thing I could catch was about him jumping in water.  This seemed pretty random since he hasn't been swimming in several months now.  So again, I just nodded.  Once his PJ's were on, I got it as he started to point out the boats and submarines!  Since he was covered in boats, he was now portraying himself as a vessel.  He then proceeded to "jump in the water!" (aka jumping up and down while doing the swimming motion with his arms)

As I tossed him in his crib, I kissed him, and told him, "Good night, puppy."
"No!  I submarine!"
"Okay, sorry.  Good night submarine!  I love you!"

(Notice he is still displaying remnants of the recent encounter with the blow dryer.)
