DS is a bit more talkative about his day now (he actually enjoys telling us the highs and lows of the day) but we still talk about our days right at bedtime. I'll tell him a little bit about my day and then he'll tell me all about his.

Hope that helps.

Yes, we do quite a bit of talking about dd's fears just before bedtime. It's a great time to talk about what's up.
