The things Esther says to me EVERY night at bedtime

-Can we sing "I love to see the temple"?  (Her favorite--we sing it EVERY night)
-Can you tuck me in?
-Will you tell Daddy to come kiss me and hug me when he comes upstairs?
-Can you turn the fan on low?
-Turn on the hall light!
-I love you, good night!!
-I love you mom, good night!!
-I love you, good night!!

Oh and Lucy, the copier is repeating right after Esther so I actually hear all the "I love you's" double." 

And then every time she hears me come upstairs she repeats, "I love you, good night!" louder and louder until I respond, or until she hears me respond, "Love you too, now GO TO SLEEP!!!  By this time I'm usually yelling because it's the end of the night and my patience is thin and because if I don't the fan drowns me out.  That is the main reason I try to stay downstairs until my sweet girl is fast asleep, so we can stick to a hopeful three minimum "good nights".

So sweet!! I remember babysitting her and I always thought she was so precious. Your kids are looking much older and their hair is so long! And i think i'm going to start saying "whobody". It makes so much sense!
