Ella's Bed time routine

Ella has a long bed time routine. Once she is in the room it takes about 20-30 mintues to put her to bed. We have to kiss all her stuffed animals and put all her toys away (which they all have there specific spots), read books, pray, sing songs and then its finally too bed. The reading books it what takes the longest. She picks out about 10 books and I end up reading about 5 of them and they aren't short baby books they are about 40 pages each. Lately she has been wanting to read the books to me and the baby. It is really cute because she actually remembers the stories. Some of what she says is just gibberish but she does pretty good reciting the stories from memory. Then after reading we pray which Ella loves to pray. Her typical prayer is that mommy and daddy will take her outside but she does pray for her little brother "choo-choo" (that is what Ella wants to name her baby brother). After praying about 5 times we sing songs which right now Twinkle, Twinkle is her favorite. Then when I lay her in bed all 20 of her stuffed animals that she sleeps with need to be covered with her blankets. Finally she blows me kisses night-night and now she is off too sleep. It takes along time to put her too sleep but she is worth every minute. Who can really complain that their daughter reads and prays too much. Hopefully she continues reading and praying as she gets older.
