Books on Mommy's Bed

It started out as a great way to end the day.

Each night, twenty minutes or so before bedtime, Sam and I, (and sometimes Daddy, too) would gather up binkie, all three blankies and a basket of library books and cuddle up in my bed and read.  We even call it "Books On Mommy's Bed".  Much more comfortable than reading in the rocking chair in Sam's room!  Unlike many activities we attempt throughout the day, Sam never needs convincing to go read with me and in fact, often asks for it on his own. 

Lately though, Books on Mommy's Bed has turned into

Roll Around and Be Wild on Mommy's Bed

, all the while totally ignoring the story I'm trying to read.  Not cool, Samuel.  Not. Cool.
