A 3 year old prayer before bed:

Peyton: "Bless the food."
Me: "You have to start with 'Dear Heavenly Father'."
Peyton: "Oh yeah. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for my toys from Christmas, thank you for Paige's toys for Christmas, thank you for mommy's camera, thank you for our dog Sirius. Amen"
Me: "And please bless us to sleep good. Amen."
Peyton: "Oh yeah yeah. Amen."


And a sweet moment we had tonight:
I am coaxing Paige to sleep by rubbing her hair and her cheeks while she snuggles in her blanket.
Peyton: "Mom, what are you doing?"
Me: "I am petting Paige."

Paige is sleepy so I move on to say goodnight to Peyton and tuck him in.
Peyton: "Mom, you can pet me too."

Ahhhhhh. It's moments like these that get me through nights like last night. I AM a good mom! And I CAN do this. Well maybe not a good one but I'm not so bad afterall.



Sweet dreams everyone.
