Humbled


We've worked really hard lately establishing a bedtime routine with Emery. It goes something like this:

-Go into her room and make sure it's cleaned up.
-Get her jammies on
-Read her bedtime book "Time for Bed" (Yes we have this memorized and have for quite a while)
-Read scriptures, Jared reads and I do my best to keep her sitting on my lap. Last week I found one of the cheap copies of The Book of Mormon cleaning and gave it to her. So she holds it and flips through it while Jared reads.
-Sing the song for the week-we switch on Sunday nights.
-Prayer, Emery has already learned to kneel next to her bed and fold her arms. She normally jabbers for a few minutes, then we switch off who helps her say her prayers each night. 

A night last week after she said prayers she climbed into her bed with her scriptures. She would not let go of them. She finally was almost asleep then remembered she had them in her hands and started flipping through them, I finally got them out of her hands and she fell right asleep. 
She is constantly reminding me of the important things in life.

Enjoy the Journey.
