Nightly Prayers

During Christmas Break, Kathryn decided she wanted me to "rock" her before laying her down to bed. I was a little apprehensive because I didn't want to start a habit that I would have to maintain. I was also confused by her asking since I have NEVER rocked her before bedtime. So, I thought about it for a second, and decided I would rock her (for only a minute or two) and take that time to say our nightly prayers. This has turned out to be a great time for just the two of us. Kathryn has always been super easy to put to bed...literally, we would just lay her down, turn off the lights, and shut the door. But now, she even gets excited about going to bed just so we can pray. During our prayers, we always thank God for the people in our lives. Tonight after thanking God for a few specific people, she proceeded to thank Him for play-dough. It was really sweet, because she was so serious. It is truly the little things in life.
