Our bedtime routine for A is to read her two or three stories (depending on when she actually gets into bed and whether or not she's had any TV privileges following her bath.) Once the stories are read, we turn out the light so the room is lit with just the glow of her nightlight.
We say our prayers, reminding A to 'make pretty hands', that is stop wiggling and rolling around and fold her hands in prayer. We recite three prayers - the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. Lately I've been trying to encourage her to talk to God - to ask him for things, like guidance, or to watch over things/people she loves.
The other night she said "Mommy? I want to ask God something... for a Prince Erik doll ... that doesn't have fuzzy hair."
Where does she come up with this stuff?
D, A and J
My reasons for living.
A
First born daughter, giggler, dancer, artist, "smarties" lover, princess-watcher, patience trier - love of my heart.
J
Baby brother, big-brother to be, big-sister follower, sippy-cup thrower, dancer, giggler, food-gobbler, snuggler, joy of my heart.
Baby Boy
Our surprise little boy, constant wiggler, heart-burn inducer, mommy-kicker, and soul that we can't wait to get to know. We're anticipating your safe arrival sometime in the week of April 20 (we hope!)
Music I Love
