Little girls in pajamas

We were ready to go to bed, our nighttime rituals had been completed. Then cheekily my youngest said "Can we go round the block on our bikes?".

My motherly reaction kicked in, explaning it was late and that they already had their pajamas on, you get the picture.

And then for some reason, unbeknownst to me, I said "OK, lets go!".

The kids rapidly jumped up, before crazy mummy could change her mind. They grabbed their shoes and their bike helmets and we were off. They both wore their pajamas with pride as they pedalled like little tornados round the block.

Less than 10 minutes later, we were back in the house, breathless and on our way to bed.

Everyone was happy and that bit of mischief settled them both beautifully.

It was a harmless crazy moment. Full of fun, adventure and a little mischief. So the question I will leave you to ponder is......

When was the last time you did something a little naughty, your equivalent to biking in pajamas?

  1. THat's fantastic!!! I think it is so important to realize that we sometimes answer automatically as "moms" (and dads) what our parents may have answered or what's "normal". But if we listen to our kids requests and really consider them, I think we can say YES much more often and build great memories as well as nurture creative, loving, fun kids. Way to go, you!

  2. As soon as mine can ride bikes we are following suit. I trust you were also in your PJ's!

    Back to my bit of naughty....
    Last night the baby would not settle, at midnight I was in the conservatory hoping the slightly cooler air would bring on sleep when the contents of my little darlings stomach emptied all over me and my PJ's. Although the light was not on in the conservatory, the room entering it was lit up like a bleacher beacon, so all over looking houses could easily see me and the baby. The dilemma, walk back into the house, dripping all over the floor, making the clean up process even more extensive or drop the clothes and parade naked back into the house.
    Needless to say any neighbours who were up at midnight drinking wine in the humid summer nights, you had too much... and didn't really see my post pregnancy body strutting proudly through our house. To any sober neighbours, I apologise for the saggy bottom, but the boobs should have made up for it!
