As they’ve been getting older, the girls have been heading up to bed later. Time has been limited. For the past few months, I have spent time with Darby first, typically playing a game or reading together. During that time, Matt hangs out with Kendall and they carry out their own pre-bedtime routine. Then we switch. I say goodnight to Darby and head into Kendall’s room. Matt comes in to put Darby to bed and Kendall and I begin our own well practiced ritual. [...] [...] Over the past year or so, our bedtime rituals have shifted, morphed into something different.

When I was singing this to my girls several moons ago, they chose three flowers and I sang the tune with their choices and then it was time to fall asleep. Mine also chose to fall asleep rather then listen to too many verses of voice. Jess--You are the best! Thank you for sharing your love, wisdom and humor with us. xoxo, E Lullaby and Goodnight
With roses around you
Close your blue (brown) eyes go to sleep
Dream sweet dreams through the night

Lay thee down now and rest
May thy slumber be blessed
Lay thee down now and rest
May thy slumber be blessed

Lullaby and Goodnight
With tulips around you……..

Thank you for the costant reminder of how these wonderful little minds interpret things we or I tend to over analyze. Caleb's (spi)ritual, envolves "dinner grace" Its the same every night, and I wonder what he is actually thinking.."Grace, Amen, Thank you for my food, Grace, Amen, and families, Grace, Amen, and dads green car, Grace, Amen and food Grace Amen" From now on I will take it as it is. He knows what it means to him, and thats good enough for me! Thanks for the reminder! I LOVE IT!
