Stalling...

Hunter and Gabriella are the king and queen of stalling when it comes to bedtime.  We do the same routine EVERY night, and every night it's the same thing...  I want milk, I need to go potty, I want the night-light on, read me a book, put on some music, I need water, don't close the door all the way, sing me another song...  not quite in that order, but you get the picture.  Anyhow, for some reason I buy into it EVERY night and I can't resist their little voices when they call out "needing" something.  

Well we put the two kids to bed separately (Gabriella first) since they share a room and tonight was no different with the stalling.  I was on my third trip out of her room and started losing my patience when Gabriella says, "mommy" and I take a deep breath about to tell her for the zillionth time to 'go to sleep' and she continues, "I love Jesus."  I was bathed in warmth and love and my impatience was gone.  "And Jesus loves you sweetie, very much" I replied.  And with that she laid down her pretty little head and was silent.  Out of the mouthes of babes...
