I never thought about saying bed time prayers with Ernie until she was nearly a year old- we got into the habit of putting her to bed before we did our "adult" bed time rituals of prayers and scripture study. I didn't want to make the same mistake with Mimi. While she doesn't stay awake long enough for family scripture study (either the stories we tell Ernie, or Wonder Daddy and my more serious study sessions), I like to say a bed time prayer with her after I've laid her in her crib.
It's sweet to bend over my infant, all zipped into her blankets for the night, and rest my elbows on the mattress next to her to say a small, infant-sized, prayer.
Until she stuck her thumb up my nose.
I don't know what I said, but I guarantee I've never said it in a prayer before!
Bwahahahahahaha
