Bedtime Routine

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

Every night we have the same routine that we do with Rebecca before she goes to bed. She takes a bath, puts on her pjs, brushes her hair and teeth, we read books, and then just Rebecca and I will lay on the floor and sing and pray. I sing "You Are My Sunshine" every night. Then we say our prayers. After we say our prayers we make a list of everyone we love and want to pray for. Right now this list mainly consist of our immediate family. A usual conversation about these people goes like this:


M: Who do we want to pray for?
R: Dada
M: Dada, who else?
R: Uh oh! Dada has go to work.
M: Yep, Dada has to work. Who else do you want to pray for?
R: Mama
M: Mama, who else?
R: Uh oh! Mama has go play tennis. (I then realize that the only time I leave Rebecca is to go play tennis once a week. I need to get out more.)
M: Mama plays tennis Monday night. Who else do you want to pray for?
R: Dessa
M: Dessa, who else?
R: Mae Mae
M: Mae Mae, who else?
R: Rob. Uh oh! Rob scream. (He did this once at the TV during a Tennessee football game several weeks ago.)
M: Yes, he was upset with the Vols. Uncle Rob, who else?
R: Nannie
M: Nannie, who else?
R: Uh oh! Nannie had go take care of Kato (the cat).
M: Yep Nannie had to go home. Who else?
R: Kato. Uh oh, Kato in Mississippia.
M: That's right, Kato lives in Mississippi. Who else do you want to pray for?
R: Pop Pop
M: Pop Pop, who else?
R: Uh oh, Pop Pop in Mississippia too.
M: He lives in Mississippi, too.
R: Carrie had go Mississippia too.
M: She did, who else do we love?
R: Mimi
M: Mimi, who else?
R: Poppie. Uh oh! Mimi and Poppie had go bye-bye.
M: They had to go to there house. Who else do you want to pray for?
R: Amy Sid
M: Yep, who else?
R: Lucy
M: Yep, who else?
R: Caroline. Uh oh! Caroline sick.
M: She is. We need to pray hard for her. Who else do we want to pray for?
R: Amy Jay
M: Amy and Uncle Jay, who else?
R: Uh oh! Amy Jay had go ball game. (They were not able to come to the birthday party because of a baseball tournament.)
M: Yes, they had to go to a ball game. Who else?
R: John had go ball game, too.
M: That right, John had to play baseball.
R: Yeah.
M: Who else do you want to pray for?
R: Lala
M: Laura, who else?
R: Uh oh! Lala had go her house.
M: She had to go home.
R: Geeg
M: Greg
R: Geeg had go home, too.
M: Anybody else?
R: Mmmmmm (as she scratches the side of her head). I don't know.
M: Amen?
R: Amen!

This is pretty close to the conversation we have every night. I get so tickled at her. It amazes me what she remembers.
