Adjusting to Change

Yesterday Lily sat on my lap and pushed my hair off my face. She said, "I'm making you Mommy again."

When we put the kids to bed they get songs every night. Lately Lily will get songs from Daddy and then when I go in to say goodnight she wants songs from me too. It used to be that I would sing her a few quiet songs always ending with songs about Jesus and/or God. Lately, as she's gotten older, I've been telling her to pick one song and then we say a prayer together. She picks one. I get about 3/4 through the song she picked and she says, "Wait, wait! Forget about Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. I want I've been working on the Railroad." It's kind of amazing how little brains work. Anything to stall bedtime I guess. Don't worry. I don't fall for it. I just keep singing the first song. I don't even stop to set her straight because that, of course, is dragging out bedtime and she wins. It is amusing though.
