Aye, Aye, Captain!

Each night after Nathanael reads to the boys, we send them upstairs to get ready for bed--a process that should take less than 5 minutes, but often takes significantly longer.  When the boys are ready to be tucked in, they call us from their beds.

Last night, after finishing a chapter in Carry On, Mr. Bowditch, a novel about the real-life pioneer of modern navigation Nathaniel Bowditch, the boys went up as usual.  A few minutes later, we were summoned with a hearty, "All hands on deck!  Topside!"

Aye, aye, Captain Ethan!

I can absolutely picture Captain Ethan saying such a thing! What a fun and very intelligent boy! Hugs, Granny in Texas
