Bedtime Routine

Sometime in the last year, we started telling each other secrets as part of the tucking-in portion of the bedtime routine. I'm not even sure whose idea it was, but the girls won't go to bed without it. I usually give the girls some sort of compliment or tell them thanks for being a good girl, and then remind them about something we have going on the next day. Liberty's secret for me is always the same, "I love you more than any other kid loves their mom, even in outerspace." I love it! Hadley' secrets are often times a bunch of jabbering with a few random words in between the nonsense. She takes it pretty seriously though. Recently, she has actually tried to say something that makes sense, like tonight: "Mom, you are a beautiful ballerina princess." That is pretty much the highest compliment she can pay anyone!
