Bedtime at our House

Bed time around our house has become a ritual. I started a while back doing a nightly devotional with the kids when I put them to bed. This meant that I had to read the devotional twice - once to each child. Within the last week this has changed a bit. We still do the devotional except that I read the scripture and JC reads the story to both kids at the same time. We all come into Josh's room probably because he already has a light on since he sleeps with his lamp on. The kids and I sit on the bed and JC reads the story. We all laugh and giggle at times because of how he reads the story. He is such a blessing to me and the kids.
After the devotional and prayer time, JC picks Maggie up and carries her to her room or simply walks with her - it really depends on Maggie's mood. And then once he comes into Josh's room the two of them definitely have a routine that they do every night. Josh "picks" at JC and tells him that JC can't body slam him and then the wrestling match begins. After a few body slams and "rest-in-peace", there is the grand finale. JC steps a few feet from the bed and Josh runs and jumps off the bed into JC arms for one final body slam. And then he goes to sleep. Maggie doesn't like the body slams so JC only does them to her every now and then - usually only by her request.
