1. Put on pajamas
2. Read Scriptures
3. Say your prayer
4. Lay in bed and fall asleep
We finally got Laken back into a bedtime routine. He had one for the longest time and would go to bed super easy but then we had Carter, Jared lost a job and got a new one, and both our families came to visit. With all that going on, Laken had a hard time going to bed. So we had to come up with a new bedtime routine for him. After a few weeks of following this routine, he finally started going to bed easy. We love reading the children's version of scripture stories with him before bed. Most of the stories are just the right length for his attention span and they have pictures that make it easy for him to follow along. After reading, he always reminds us it's time to pray by folding his arms. He does a pretty good job repeating what we say, and every once in a while, he'll take the lead. It warms my heart to see him enjoying this routine and wanting to pray.
