Jackson's Bedtime Ritual

Jackson likes to have things his way, and his way of going to bed is like this:

1) BRUSH YOUR TEETH

2) READ A STORY (OR 2 OR 3 OR 4)

3) READ THE SCRIPTURES AND LOOK AT THE "OWIE PICTURE"

(A PICTURE OF NEPHI STANDING OVER LABAN WITH A SWORD)

4) HAVE PRAYER, AND IT'S ALWAYS MOMMY'S TURN

5) JACKSON GETS TO TURN OFF THE LIGH

6)  CLIMB INTO THE CRIB USING MOMMY OR DADDY'S ARMS AS A STEP

(Most kids are climbing out of their crib by 2yrs, Jackson still wants help to climb IN!)

7) PUT MY PUPPY IN THE RIGHT ARM

8) PUT MY KITTY IN THE LEFT ARM

9) PUT MY HORSY IN THE MIDDLE

10) ADD THE MONKEY AS I ROLL OVER



11) AND THEN PUT MY BLANKET ON TOP.

I tell Jackson every day "This is getting a little ridiculous!"

Of course, here is a rare occasion where he just crashed on the couch.

Sans ritual.
