Bed & Bath Time

Bedtime for Enoch is typically a sweet, fun time these days.  He loves for us to sing to him while we get him ready for bed, and there are even a few songs that he will sing along to with us when we get to the words he knows (Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow and All I Have is Christ).  He also loves to practice saying words (like numbers or colors), to recount the happenings of the day, and to play games like "Where's Enoch?"  This is such a fun stage, and Hugh and I both treasure this sweet time with our growing boy.

Playing "Where's Enoch?"

We've found that having a bedtime routine helps Little Man wind down and sets his expectations for going to sleep.  Our routine currently includes: 

• kisses for those at the dinner table before we head to his bedroom (even visitors usually get kisses)
• brushing his teeth
• getting a {spit} bath (only if he's dirty or stinky)
• putting on a nighttime diaper
• getting dressed in jammies
• turning on his fan
• hugging and kissing the parent putting him to bed
• laying down in his crib

Sometimes if he's not wanting to lay down and go to sleep, we will pray with him and sing a song before laying him down, but this doesn't happen all that often.  Here are a few other cute pictures of bedtime/bathtime.  Nothing like a cute, clean little boy to make you want to squeeze and kiss on them!
