Joden es totalmente lindo, me hizo reir mucho con sus preguntas. Estas pequeñas escenas son sumamente bonitas, las estoy disfrutando mucho, ojala la autora siga escribiendo mas.

Josie and Haeden’s oldest…

Has a loooooot of questions 🤣 and poor Josie’s just trying to to get him to sleep 🤡 but Joden doesn’t care 🤣, and poor Josie’s pregnant. Again 🤡.

Good thing Haeden steps in to get Joden to shut up 💀. Because once the kids are asleep, mommy and daddy can play 😉.

This was so cute!!! I FEEEELT Josie’s frustration 🤣.

Reminds me of the days I would tell my daughter to ask me tomorrow
Ask me tomorrow
ASK ME TOMORRRRRRROW 🤣🤣🤣

So cute ❤️ I wish it was longer 😭

Dios, me ha encantado este cuento, porque Joden es igualito que yo cuando era pequeña. Yo era una niña muy inquieta llena de preguntas y cuestionaba todo, así que he amado ver que Joden es igual. Tan lindo.

Me encanta ver cómo les va como familia, después de ser la pareja más peculiar. (En cuanto a su resonancia).

Another little slice of life at bedtime.
Josie and Haedan’s son wants a bedtime story, but Josie is running out of movie and TV shows to recount so she goes with a nursery rhyme instead. This just brings up more questions, and the kid fully dissects and critiques every line. Obviously it’s cute but not required reading.

This is putting kids to bed in a nutshell. It's funny because it's not me. This is just a very cute little story.

Very short Novella, just a chapter but adorable. Slowly but surely making my way through the Rubyverse

I get where the author was going with this but Joden is just SO annoying! Just this little short story of him was more than enough.

Very short story about Josie trying to tell Joden a bedtime story or song. Lol it is cute and enjoyed seeing her and her mate and how they interact with their children.

Joden si que es exasperante. Pero es hijo de Josie y Haeden entonces no puedo sentir aversion al hijo de una de mis parejas favoritas en IPB. Ojala que hubiera segundos libros sobre ellos.

I can’t believe I have beef with a child. Joden is too much even for just a chapter

A cute bedtime story about Joden with Josie, Haeden, and sleeping Joha!

I love how curious and oh-so-clever Joden is with his questions, "dissecting every bit of every story." While Josie was singing The Twinkle Little Star, Joden started asking questions, it made me pause and ponder them as well, haha. I love how impatient yet clever this little boy is!

Plus, Josie and Haeden wouldn't be Josie and Haeden without their short cute banter and their "Now, come to bed so I can give you my version of a bedtime story for adults."

So cute!

Review Summary

Just a cute little story about Josie singing her son to sleep. I loved getting to know Josie’s son, he’s so like his parents it’s hilarious. It’s like one page so not much to say, but for some reason this one hit less than the last short bedtime story. Love a glimpse into Josie & Haeden’s life though.
