By noon on Christmas day, I knew that we had given Ethan a gift that was really worth it. This kid loves his castle!
He loves playing "knights" and wants to be a prince or a knight all the time. He saves me (the queen) from terrors of the forest. Sometimes he requests that I step off the throne and pretend to be a bad knight.
He wants every bedtime song to be one about a prince or a knight. I made up songs for a few nights and then started to run out of inspiration. We've started a system where he gives me a problem for the knight, and I make up the solution...usually in song. It's been a pretty interesting journey. Our knights have fought ogres, giants, had jousting competitions--you know, the usual things one does as a knight. We've also had songs about not having enough Oreo Pie, trying to find the "never-breakable ax-sword," and much, much more.
I know it's a phase, but I'm in no hurry for it to end. I love my knight in shining armor! :)

At the end of the day my brain is way too fried to even remember to read them a story out of a book let alone make up a chorus to go along with a complex situations set in the middle ages!
