Every night either Joe or I read a book or two to Jude before bed. Our nightly stories are probably one of the highlights to my day. Jude gets to pick out the books we read and often times he picks the same books over and over. However, it’s always exciting when we get a new book to join our collection.
I’m Not Tired Yet! is a the newest book from beloved author and illustrator Marianne Richmond. It tells the story of a six year old little boy, Ralphie who doesn’t want to go to bed and creatively masters the art of stalling. This is the perfect book for Jude right now since he has just discovered the art of stalling.
Ralphie’s mom handles her son’s delays with great patience and love. It’s a playful book that helps not only children but parents with the difficult task of going to bed. Jude particularly loves the engaging segments where Ralphie and his mom kiss, hug, pinch and poke each other. Jude wants to recreate each moment with me which is a truly lovely experience. The book has also taught me to react lovingly to Jude’s tactics to delay his bed time.
This really is a fun book and has certainly helped us to ease the pain of ending playtime and getting ready for bedtime.
I received the feature product free for review. However, the opinions expressed in this post are my own and not influenced by the company.

I never thought I’d say this but since becoming a mom my fashion requirements have changed somewhat. I find it difficult to put my needs first and typically gravitate toward practical rather than fashionable. Hence all my cute handbags and purse are packed away in the closet longing to be used while I’ve resolved to…
I have a lot of Mommy friends. We often get together in the evenings, after the kids are in bed, for a little Mommy bonding time. It’s nice to swap stories about our kids and daily life, learning that we are all in this same “mom” boat together. Recently, MommyJuice wines contacted me about doing…

I know it’s not Jude’s birthday but he doesn’t really understand what that means yet so I thought it would be fun for him to get a personalized Birthday DVD. Barnyard Birthday sent us a super cute DVD which sings a short original birthday song. Jude is absolutely mesmerized by the DVD. I think he…
One of my favorite memories of newborn Jude was his first bath. We gave him a little bird bath in the bathroom sink. It was a memory I will never forget. While bathing him in the sink was much easier than putting him in the tub it still had it’s draw backs. A wet tiny…
It’s not secret that we like ice cream but Joe really loves ice cream. I’m pretty sure he could eat a half gallon completely by himself. So when I saw the Sweet Dreamzzz Pint of PJ’s at My Baby Clothes Boutique I knew baby 2 needed it. I love chocolate so of course I chose…
