Goodnight MJ
We just love our goodnight routine with MJ. It's been the same since he was about 8 weeks old, and he always smiles and looks at us so affectionately. I think that he really thrives on those last couple minutes of special attention before bedtime. MJ is definitely a child of routine. He likes things in the order he's used to, and maybe that's partly our fault, but he does seem to thrive on routine. Our bedtime routine involves putting on pj's (a bath every other night beforehand), brushing his teeth, and then into bed for a story with Daddy and a prayer with Mommy. Of course when one of us isn't there, the other does both. Mat has been reading him the very same book since MJ was in my belly. I've always wanted to capture those final few minutes before bedtime on film. I know one day he'll be too old for all of this, and I will deeply miss this special time. Thank goodness for little memories like this one! Of course since I was holing a camera, he was being a bit silly, but here's the gist...

Oh my goodness, so sweet! I bet one day he'll recite the book himself by heart!! So sweet how he goes over to give kisses when he knows each of you is finished. Definitely a special moment to treasure forever! xxo, Mindy
Precious, precious, precious...
