The Nighttime Ritual

They say consistency is always important for kids.  Well Hayden makes me abide by our night time ritual regardless of her disposition.  It all starts with bath time.  She loves her baths and soaking in the tub. After her bath we lotion her up and put on her warm jams.  When that is all said and done before we leave her room we have to say, "HI" to baby Hayden on the wall and twirl the butterfly mobile in the room.  I ask Hayden, "Where's baby Hayden?" and she will point to her picture on the wall.  I ask Hayden, "Where's your butterflies?" She points and has to touch the butterflies which always brings a smile to her face.  One would think this would get old...but she loves to do this each and every night.
