Kaylee's Bedtime Routine

Well, we've managed to cut down binkies to just sleep times now.  Kaylee is very good at handing over her binky and is quite excited to get it back before bed. 

Lately she has been wanting me to sing her songs before bed.  She asks for the same 4 songs, in the same in order: "Pretty Horses" (All The Pretty Horses), "Mockingbird" (Hush Little Baby), "Blowing Wind" (Blowin' in the Wind) and "Rum pum pum" (Little Drummer Boy).  She has eclectic tastes. 

She also requires about 20 stuffed animals in her crib, Twilight Turtle turn on (usually to green), and a pile of book for her to read in the morning.  She has to have her two pillows stacked just so and Pink (her blankie) draped over her and the tags in her hand.

Tonight as I was leaving her room we had the following exchange:

Kaylee: Bump!
Me: *walks over to give Kaylee a fist bump*
Kaylee: Good night, Mommy!
Me: Good night, Kaylee!
Kaylee: You're my friend Mommy! 
Me:  Aw, you're my friend too.
Kaylee: Mommy my friend.  Daddy my hero. 

Love that kid.
