Bedtime Routine

Our bedtime routine is pretty simple around here. Bath and bed. While Jeremiah is putting Jacob down for the night, I get to do something that I don't normally get to do and wish I could do more often. I get to read the girls their story. They take turns picking out the book and we crawl into my bed and snuggle up together to read. It's one of those things, that as a mother, I just wish could last a little bit longer each night.

Things started changing a bit around here the last week or two. Mazie has taken over the reading part. She reads while Jamie and I snuggle up to her and hang on her every word...

She has been reading for almost two years and just loves everything she reads. It makes my heart swell that Mazie asked to read one night and then every night ever since. It also makes me a little sad that she doesn't need (or want) me to anymore. But once in a while you get to take a step back and realize that you are doing a pretty good job with your children when they do things like this for themselves. That's what it's about, right?
