I spent the weekend in a "tent," but not underneath the stars. It started after I laundered a quilt and draped it over chairs in the kitchen to finish drying. Yup, the two toddlers in our house found a wonderful, new place to explore.First it was moved to the living room, draped across two couches. Dinosaurs, books and cars were brought in. Peek-a-boo was played. When it was time to move upstairs, the quilt came with us. After bath, the kids wanted it in the loft for movie time. Then it moved to the bedroom, where it was draped from the bed to two chairs across the room. We placed a sleeping bag underneath. "You come in, Mommy," my son said. So I snuggled between the two of them for storytime. It was too dark, even with the light on, to read the book and the flashlight didn’t work, but luckily I’ve memorized some stories. Both youngsters fell asleep. Amazing what will make them content. The next night, Daddy joined us in the tent for a while. And yes, it’s Thursday, and the kids have fallen asleep there every night this week.
