We just finished our nightly family ritual of putting Joseph to bed. We turn down the lights and all relax in the living room until Joseph starts to unwind. We read books and he jumps on us for awhile, and slowly starts settling down with his blanket. Eventually we ask him if he's ready for bed, and he covers his face with his blanket. We say, "Where's Joseph?" and peek under the blanket where he is sleepily grinning. Then we all go into his room and say a prayer, and he goes to bed. Tonight it was just the lights on the Christmas tree, and we had our little Caleb with us, and it just felt especially sweet.
