Goodnight Prayer

The Good: Bentley is feeling better! YAAAAAAAY!

The Bad: Now we have to start all over on getting her to sleep in her own bed.

The Cute: A few nights ago I put Bentley in her crib to go to bed and she was crying and screaming at the top of her lungs, so I told her to fold her arms so that we could say prayer (she loves when we say prayer). She was too mad to listen so I went ahead and folded mine and started saying a very loud prayer. She finally caught on and quickly folded her arms and stood there trying SO HARD to hold in her cry. It made me smile. Unfortunately when the SUPER long prayer was over the crying continued, but the peace was nice for a little bit.

LOL that is so funny! I never tried that one on my kids, you're smarter than I was!

She is such a doll and it was fun finally meeting her, even if she was totally unimpressed with us :-)

Take care of yourself and we look forward to seeing the new one. I was going to say , "See if you can make a boy like Matiah's" but she would kill me. I don't think she would wish that on anyone else. But wouldn't it be fun to to that to your wimpy dad LOO LOL LOL

I like that idea! Isn't it so hard to always try and figure out what the heck these little ones want? It was so fun to see her with Garrett and Lincoln...I wish I'd caught a picture of them together. She's such a cutie! It was great to see all of you guys again...it's been too long.

How sweet.

Little girls sure do know how to get their way don't they.

Glad she's feeling better.

So cute! all I have to say is that parenting is tough, especially with the first one, but way to be creative in distracting her :)
I hope your family had a great time together. We were sorry to have missed his homecoming...
