Most nights I love putting Lily to bed, and tonight was great. We started by reading the Bible story of Joseph and his colorful robe; she likes all the colors on his "pretty coat." After the story we said our prayers. As usual, I asked Lily what she was thankful for today. For the last couple of weeks she has said things like "I'm thankful to put my windows up" or "I'm thankful that I got to play Candy Land." Tonight however she said "I'm thankful for my friend Jesus." Talk about melting my heart! I love it when says things like this. It is also so sweet to hear her sing songs that she learns in Sunday school or on her Cedermont Kids DVDs. For instance at Publix today, she just burst out with Jesus Loves the Little Children. It's precious to hear her little voice singing about God's love.
Each night after we say our prayers we tell a story about one of the cities on her ABC board. Then, to get her up and into bed, I always spin her around and drop her into bed; it makes her laugh. I will ask her "Do you want to spin fast or slow? Frontways or backways?" Without fail she giggles "Fast and backways!" Tonight though she thought and said "Backways and MODERATO!" I couldn't help but laugh as she then proceeded to tell me about watching a Little Einsteins and how they helped the little pig by going from slow to moderato to superfast. She cracks me up!
