I’m Not Tired
“Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you’re in diapers; the next day you’re gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul.” – The Wonder Years
You know how all kids always deny being tired despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary? Well, that’s what this adorable little story on Nick Jr. is about. I don’t know what made me remember this story but I thought of it the other day. It was both of my boys’ first experience with the internet. Back before Steve abandoned Blue for a fabulous movie career (?!), and they were each around 2-3 years old they would sit on our laps and make us play this story over and over again. Both of them loved it.
I’m so happy I found it still up on their website so many years later! Whenever one of them claims to not be tired and they clearly are tired, we still say, “I’m not tired” in this little bird’s voice to this day. 
Thanks for stopping by!
Sweet! This is intimacy at it’s finest. Code language that speaks from the heart.
My eyes roll to the heavens over the significance of your post.

We do have our little code languages in our families, don’t we? I sent all three of my guys a link to the little bird story when I found it (I don’t let my sons read my blog) so we all got to be reminded of it yesterday. They still like it.
lol. It’s so cute when they insist they’re not tired and you can actually see them forcing their eyelids open to stay awake.
That is so adorable when they’re still little enough to be carried to bed!
dude, if you can lull me to sleep, more power to you! i need some asap!
