bedtime woes


Lately we are having a battle at bedtime with Kayleigh, she cries on and on about not wanting to go to bed. She makes up every excuse as to why she doesn't want to, what body part hurts and needs medicine, brushing teeth, reading books, taking a bath, etc.
Although bedtime can be a challenge with Kayleigh, the cutest thing she does every night, is after I pray with her, she says her prayer. You can barely make out what she says as she whispers ever so quietly. But she is very serious about her prayers to God. I can sometimes hear her thanking God for things, praying about me, her Daddy, and other people.
The picture in this post was just taken as I was writing this, once again Kayleigh came out of her room as she does on many a night to tell me something, tonight is was that her tummy hurt...though I know it doesn't really. It's so hard not to laugh when she comes out wearing yellow & green sunglasses at night! Then she decided she forgot to brush her teeth. Ugh, good night Kayleigh!
And of course every night, I go into her room to turn off their light and she has fallen asleep with a book in her hands.
This morning during the Women's Bible Study I facilitate at our home she came up to me and said, "Mommy I have to tell you something." She knows she's supposed to stay in the other room while we discuss and watch the video for that week but she had to whisper in my ear..."Mommy, I love you."
Little stinker!
