Surviving Toddler Phase Epiphany #2 - Grab this at bedtime, you won't be sorry 01/12/2015 YES. They are already wayyy behind bed time and I want to say "GO.TO.BED!!!" but in that last minute, once they are snuggled and finally ready to rest, I realize that something happens... A moment presents itself, my kids open up. They are ready to share, chat, and be in the moment with me. And I have a choice.
