Now I lay me down to sleep...

It's hard to say what my favorite time with Liza is, but it's a close call between morning and night...she is so so happy and smiley in the mornings and talks non stop...but there is just something about bedtime that I love...we are very very routine...we live life by a schedule...I'm a huge fan of schedules...I think that children benefit from schedules and routine...they know what to expect and it helps them become grounded...so we start between 6:30 and 7pm...start with a bath...this is her daddy's job...mom watches and talks to her, but Tyler loves this time...then we take our "big" bottle and start to wind down... After her bottle I swaddle her,and she's out...once she is swaddled she is DONE with rocking...she wants to be in bed...so I put the pacy in and lay her down...as crazy as this may sound I always put my hand on her chest...just enough pressure for her to feel secure...instantly he goes to sleep...I say a prayer and kiss her goodnight...this time couldn't be more perfect...I walk out of her room, and always breathe a sigh of relief...we made it one more day, and it went smoothly... I'm so thankful for her and all that she has brought to our lives...words can't describe my love for her...with that being said...sweet dreams... Love, Liza's mom
