To all the Moms who read this blog, this is for you:
This was going to be for Wordless Wednesday, but I felt like I needed to explain what’s going on in the photos. Since I’m thinking a lot about what parents do to make bedtime special this week, I snapped some photos as Kaitlyn was headed to bed the other night. This is her basic bedtime routine:
Step 1. Sit in the La-Z Boy rocker with Daddy, looking at books, while he brushes her hair-
Step 2. Give Daddy a bedtime smooch-
Step 3. Give her brothers their bedtime smooch, first Ryan-
Then a smooch for Nathan-
Step 4. Get tucked into bed by Mommy, making sure to have all four special blankies, a book, and at least one stuffed toy. Give Mommy a smooch, say goodnight!
Feel free to leave a link to your Wordless Wednesday post (or any other post you’d like me to read!) in a comment.

Reason number a million why I love being a Mom:
This one’s for Isabel – Kaitlyn would be a big hit at the annual BlogHer CheeseburgHer party!
I must really love these kids to let them have Play-doh, a substance that causes me all kinds of stress over the willy-nilly mixing of colors and the little bits that dry out and feel like shards of evil under my feet.
Ahhh, motherhood.
