We've established some new nighttime rituals.
Only one of these has been intentional on my part.
First, we've started reading again before bedtime. While it doesn't happen every night, I try to get in a chapter from "Leading Little Ones to God" two to three times each week.
Each chapter is about a page. I then attempt to talk about it more with Jack while Mattie flips through the pages.
On the nights we don't read, I get a kick out of listening to my little singer. Her nighttime favorites are Jesus Loves Me and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Start.
It's precious! Jack has never been one to belt out a tune, so I'm loving this with Mattie. Some nights she sings her renditions 20-30 times.
The last ritual began just last week, so I'm not sure it qualifies as a routine yet. Jack and I have decided we are going to set aside one night each week to watch a movie together in bed!
I would prefer those nights fall on a Friday or Saturday, but we'll see how it pans out.
