Jamie, I remember
You are about two years old. We have a night time ritual. Your daddy give your a bath, an adventure that usually take about 30 minutes or so. I think daddy likes to use your bath time as a adult excuse for playing with your bath toys. *grin* After your bath, you come running out of the bathroom, shed the towel, and make a mad dash for the couch where I am usually waiting. We snuggle up under the covers for a few minutes. My pillow and blanket end up soaked in the meantime. Daddy puts your pj's on, then we go through the nighttime story, and usually watch a night time video.
You've taken to liking your daddy and me taking you to bed. We both go into the bedroom with you, when you are held by me. Mamaw and daddy say your goodnight prayers, and you've started to fold your hands with us and try to repeat the prayer as well. Sometimes you will try to pry our eyes open during the prayer to see what's going on under those closed lids. It's hard to no crack a smile when you're lifting our eye lids up.. but we manage.
These are moments that I will always treasure. I wish I could get a picture of your folded hands, and bowed head saying night time prayers. This is an image that will be forever engraved into my mind.
I thank our Heavenly Father for bringing you into my life. I am truly a blessed grandma.
