Our bedtime routine is always the same, we like it that way. If something is out of order or missing, it seems harder for Lilly to get to sleep. Each night, we read the Bible or a family devotional book together. Next, we pray as a family - even our dear dog Lucy bows her head some nights. haha If Daddy is home with us, the Daddy/Daughter squeeze comes next. Then, I get to snuggle up to my sweet girl in her bed and read her 1 or 2 books and sing her a few songs. It is one of my favorite times of the day - usually full of giggles or telling about the best and worst part of our day.
At the end, when I get up to leave her room she has started telling me, "Don't have scary dreams. If the bed bugs bite, take a shoe and beat them 'til their black and blue. I love you! Good Night!"
It is a sweet thing to hear before I head off to bed and it reminds me of what an awesome gift God gave my husband and I and it also reminds me to cherish these moments.
