Bed Routine

After W's bathe and teeth brushing, we're off to say prayers. If you haven't heard a toddler pray lately, find yourself one (in a non-creepy way!) and listen in on that prayer...will melt your heart. He's very thorough that all arms are folded and eyes closed...even Mr. Monk. He's also thorough that everyone from both sides of the family is included. Sometimes we show our gratitude to other items as well...a few weeks back we were grateful to have alligators and baby chicks. Last week we blessed the couch. And last night we blessed pizza! Anyway-sweetest little thing!

Then we have to say goodnight at the door, so that Will can close his own door (you see this raging independence streak). We do knuckles, 5, slide, love, and kiss. Then he closes the door. But...just last night he discovered he could still talk to me before I walk away. So right as the door closed.... "Mama?" "Yes?" "Mama, what are you doin'?"
"Oh just getting ready for bed, what are you doing?"
"Oh just getting ready for bed, too!"
"Well goodnight!"
"Goodnight mama! Sweet dreams! Have a good day soon!" (I think that was supposed to be a mixture of have a good day and see you soon...still cute mixed!)

So sweet! He's speaking in sentences a lot more, and is able to articulate what he's thinking. Yesterday we were driving around town and he said, "Mama? Go to the bank, the park, and the chicken place. Sound like a good plant mama?"
Loved that he has started to think sequentially like that, and that plant = plan!

Love this kid!!!!
