Night Time Rituals

The Reynolds Routine at "night night time":

step one: take off clothes ( completely necessary when you have the two messiest eaters in East Tennessee)

step two: eat dinner

step three: bath time (Cooper and Brylee LOVE bath time)

step four: lotion time (Cooper will NOT let you forget this part, as he says it is "his favorite"

Brylee waiting on her baby massage


step five: pajamas (again Cooper will not let you leave this part out, he must have jammies on and please don't forget the socks)


step six: brush teeth


step seven: read two books (not one and not three, of course Cooper gets to pick his books and one of the two is usually an I Spy book. I can definitely see a major problem coming when Brylee is old enough to pick out a book. The battle may result in a 4 book total :)


step eight: Night time prayers. This is mommy's favorite part. Cooper prays for everything (tonight he even recommended we pray for the rolly polly that he ran over with his bicycle). I love his sincerity and honest love for everything.


step nine: Kisses and Hugs for Sissy and Daddy. Bryan takes Brylee for her bottle and mommy has to give Cooper kisses, kisses, and more kisses and one more big hug. Then I get to cover him up and for some reason his newest thing in this step is to cover his head???????


step ten: the night night speech Mommy says EVERY NIGHT when walking out of his room.


I love every minute of this time I get to share with the kids. Here are a couple more pictures from our night night routine.
