The two boys are rascalling on the big bed after their splash in the big, big bath with the ducks, swishy fishy and octopus. Callum has had enough of his bottle and Reuben takes it to his mouth, pretending to drink, or at least chewing on the nipple as he rests his arm on Callum's bottom, stopping him crawling off the end of the bed. It makes me think, wistfully, sentimentally, of the number of bottles still left to give Callum as he approaches his first year's birthday. Reuben tires of the bottle and reaches out to "Goodnight Moon", sifting through the pages, the words running through his head, the signs running through his fingers. The perfect goodnight lullaby and bedtime ritual. I am in awe of how radiant and peaceful Reuben looks with his strawberry blonde bathtime curls and a single wall light illuminating the book nestled between his legs. Thanks to Jennifer for introducing this book into our lives as a baby shower gift for Callum. Do you have a "Goodnight Moon" photo and story to share with us too?
"Goodnight moon
Goodnight cow jumping over the moon
Goodnight light
And the red balloon
Goodnight stars
Goodnight air
Goodnight noises everywhere"
- Margaret Wise Brown & Clement Hurd
