The past few nights, Landry has begged us to sleep in her room with her. Tonight when I was putting her to bed she told me that her head is making her have bad dreams. I asked what kinds of bad dreams she was having and she said she it was about grinches and Oz of Ozma (Oz of Ozma is this ridiculously long and boring book we got at Chick-fil-A--they have the WORST kids' meal toys!!). Anway, I tried to reassure her that there was no such thing as grinches or Oz of Ozma.
So, then she said a prayer to God to make her bad dreams go away. This is how it went:
"God, are there really no such thing as grinches?" Long pause...I think she was waiting for a response so I said "no, there's really no such think as grinches." She went on, "God, please make the bad dreams stay out of my head. Okay? Thank you--Amen. "
Then, as usual, we ended the night-time ritual with a song. Usually it's "Twinkle, Twinkle", "Landry Laurel" (an original!), "Blue Skies and Rainbows"....but tonight she wanted to hear "Feliz Navidad".
With that being said, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart!!

You always need to trade the book at Chick Fil-A for an ice cream cone!
Hmmmmmm- Elizabeth, I didn't even know you could do that!
