From time to time, others have great stories to tell me about my girls and it just occurred to me that I should post them (with permission) so my family and I could look back and enjoy.

BACKGROUND INFO:  Mimi spent a day re-outfitting my old room in her home into a bedroom for the girls – complete with a princess bed (princess bedsheets, etc).

She (Lorelei) had intentions of sleeping in her new bed/bedroom.  She asked me to tuck her in and say a prayer.  So I tucked her in, kissed her forehead and told her to pray. This is what she prayed, “Dear God, Protect me”. (silence) “Dear God, Keep me safe. Amen.”

I was really proud of her.  She sounded so big.  Then she said, “Mimi, you pray”.  So I did.

Then, I turned the light down and went to my room to bed.  A few minutes later she came in my room and said she had lost the glo angel (a nightlight).  She did this a few times, losing something just to come to tell me.  Finally, I told her to get her blanket and sleep with me.  I knew that was what she wanted to do, but she never asked.  Once she got in my bed, I told her it was late (12:00) and we needed to go to sleep.  She said, “ok”. She shut her eyes and so did I.  I would open mine a little and she would open hers and would point her finger at me and say, “Go to sleep, NOW!”   We did that a couple of times and finally both of us fell asleep.

She is so funny with her facial expressions. I wonder where she gets them from?

Welcome back!
