Aspen is 3 1/2, almost 4 years old now. For about the last 6ish months our bedtime routine with him is to pray and tell him a story. His favorite stories from me are "hurt" stories and the favorite ones with Daddy are hunting stories. I try to stick with true stories from my childhood because I remember always wanting to hear stories of my parents childhoods and it never seemed like they could remember much. Aspen loves to hear the ones where I got hurt - stapled my fingers together at 1 1/2 years old, got pinched by a crab, broke a toe, cut my leg and had to be on crutches, etc. I am always trying to rack my brain to remember more stories!
Lately, Aspen likes to tell us stories after we tell him ours. These stories usually include his "brother" John and them hunting, shooting, blowing up, beating someone up.....you get the picture. They always start out with, "Once apon a time....". I'm not sure where get gets that from because I have never said that. He has a very vivid imagination and it is fun to get a glimpse into how his brain works. He has a lot of adventures with "John" who is 6 years old and lives with his "other mom". So funny. Of all the names in the world, why John???! We recently met someone named John and his eyes got huge and he whispered "MOM!! That's the name of my brother!!"
