Dan typically snuggles up with our kids each night and reads them a book as a bedtime ritual. They love visiting with their dad about their day and getting some quality one on one time with him before they go to sleep.
Now when it comes to putting our 17 year old, "adopted son", Kayleb to bed, Dan has to use a totally different tactic. Kayleb's not as keen on snuggling as a way of being put to sleep at night so Dan has to resort to a little trick he's picked up through all of his years of watching UFC. It's called the triangle choke. Puts him to sleep every time :)
Prior to Kayleb and Dan's bedtime ritual as pictured above, Dan would test out his skills on none other than....Me. "The kids were too easy", he would justify, "You are the closest thing to Randy Coutore that I have", He would encourage. Ugh!!! Dan's skill level is getting a little to advanced to just wrestle around with me, so.... thanks Kayleb, for letting Dan feel like he is a real UFC fighter. Once in a while anyway.
Plus, it really does put Kayleb to sleep faster than any bedtime story we know of. :)
