When the lights are out and all four of us are lying in our beds at night, it's not uncommon to hear Joshua's husky voice call out into the darkness, "Caleb, are you okay?"
"I'm 'kay," Caleb cheerfully responds. "Joshua, are you okay?"
"I'm kaaay," Joshua replies. "Mommy, are you okay?"
"I'm okay," is my dutiful response. "Caleb, are you okay?"
"I'm 'kay," Caleb chirps. "Daddy, are you okay?"
"I'm oh-kay," enunciates Joe, in an effort to encourage proper pronounciation. "Joshua are you okay?"
And so it goes on and on until it has been determined that all of us are indeed okay. So there you have our version of the Waltons' bedtime adieus. Good night!
