Holden is growing up so much lately. He decided it was time to potty train and has been doing really well. He loves his Cars and Thomas the Tank Engine underwear. And I love not changing poopy diapers! He has also moved to a big boy bed. He only fell out once the first night, so the next day he and I got a bed rail to help with that. His bed time routine is so fun and easy, and he has it down! (A year ago I would not describe bed time that way.) After bath/scripture time, we get jammies on, and brush teeth. Holden sucks off the tooth paste but then mom gets a turn to finish brushing for him. Then we head into Holden's room for prayer and Holden says bye dad bye, lights out, and we read/ look at our awesome glow in the dark Cars book. Then I recite another favorite bedtime book and sing a song, it ends with a great big pat pat hug and kiss and a bye mom bye. The only sad thing now is I don't get to rock him in my arms before bed anymore. But I'm so happy he likes to go to bed and I love watching him ask for prayer time and kneel down next to his bed. He doesn't repeat or say his own prayers yet but he is definitely involved. We let him say what he is grateful for or what/who he wants to pray for. Lightening, Mater, milk, blankets, book, mom, and dad usually make it in there along with other activities from the day.
