This just happened less than five minutes ago...
My son is turning 9 tomorrow. We've had some trouble putting him to sleep during his summer vacation, and I was steering him towards sleep right now. I asked if he'd brushed his teeth and gone potty to get ready to bed. He said yes, so I asked him to "put your head on the pillow, please". He went to his bed, took the pillow, and held it in his hands, resting his head on top of it, and started heading towards the living room...
I couldn't do anything but laugh for a solid minute, and then went to get him from living room, and added to my previous statement: "Go to bed, and put your head on the pillow, please."
Moments like this make a dad proud!
