Now I lay me down to sleep

Dear Evan,

We've got quite a bedtime ritual for you & we hope it continues for many years to come. After your bath, which we all know you LOVE, we get you dressed in your snuggly PJ's & ready for bed. You tend to drink your last bottle rather slowly, so we read a book to you in between. We probably get through 4 books before you're done!

Then, we say our nightly prayer:

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Give me sweet dreams all through the night
And wake me with His morning light

And finally, we sing a little song that we made up. We recount all of the fun things we did or the people we played with & say goodnight to them.

Goodnight toys, its time to go to sleep
Its time to go to sleep
Its time to go to sleep

The goal of our whole bedtime ritual is this ...

... or this ...

Man, you are the cutest - even when you are sleeping!
Love,
Mom & Dad
