Changes with age...

When the boys were little we use to read books and rock them in the rocking chair then put them in their crib. As they grew, I would sit on their toddler bed and read them a book and sing to them. They're so grown up now:(. They're both sleeping in the bunk beds. Since they've been sharing a room we've had trouble with them chit-chatting for hours and not getting to sleep until almost 11:00 some nights. I knew that would have to change since Andrew will be starting Kindergarten soon. For nearly two weeks, I've started a new night time tradition. Daddy reads them a book and then mommy comes in with sleepy time oil:). It's just some lavender massage oil from Bath and Body. They love it!! I then have my quiet time while they go to sleep. I let them each pick a song for me to sing (Parker always chooses Dear Mr. Jesus:) and then I tell them I'm going to talk to Jesus and read my Bible. I pray and read aloud. We've been reading Luke for the past week. The boys really enjoy it and they're super quiet. It's a wonderful time for me to spend time in the word, which is hard to find sometimes during the day, and hopefully plant some seeds for the boys.
