The Perfect Time of Day

Luke 5 months, ready for bedtime!

I love my husband for many reasons, but one of the best times of our day is when we get to get our little boys ready for bed. Ryan is always a big, big help. Most nights he bathes Max and I usually get Luke bathed or ready for bed simultaneously. I love it when my little guys are all dressed in their jammies and we and just sit downstairs in our family room and chill together. We all cuddle up on the couch together, Ryan and I holding our clean babies, breathing in the baby lotion, and watch an episode or two of Curious George. If Max is really tired, we can snag something on the Food Network or our old favorite, Everybody Loves Raymond.

Then it's off to bed, with prayers, scripture time, and of course, story time from Max's current favorite...a 200 page Disney Classics book. Luckily, he doesn't want us to read to him each word, he just goes from page to page asking what is going on in the pictures (he now knows all names of the 7 dwarfs but could care less that Snow White is poisoned by an apple). I just love this little routine. It is one time a day that we can just all sit and be together...what a perfect way to enter into slumber.
