Good Night
Dear Emily,
I have a very sweet memory from when I was little of my bedtime routine. My mom would put me in bed, we would say our prayers -- The Lord's Prayer -- and we would sing a couple of songs and I'm pretty sure we would recite Psalms 23. I don't remember too much about it, but I remember how well I thought our voices harmonized and how good I thought we sounded. It was really beautiful.
It seems like everything I am reading lately is telling me how important a bedtime routine is. I have been trying to figure out a good one for us. We've been putting our pajamas on and saying good night to daddy. We might spend a little time looking at the twinkle lights in her room or reading a book, depending on her mood, and then we nurse to sleep. I can't wait until she enjoys her bedtime routine and we can do baths, then pj's, then a story, prayers and a song. I hope she enjoys it as much as I did.
Do you and Clara have a routine?
Love, Jen
