Tonight after dinner we all went upstairs for jammie time. Both the kiddos looked like they were going to fall asleep at the table, so an early bed time was in order. Camilla picked out her own jammies and started dressing herself. I changed Hyrum's diaper and then put him on Camilla's bed so I could get him into his jammies. As he lay on the bed he wiggled and squirmed and tried to get away with a big grin on his face. He loves playing and bouncing on the big bed. After some tickling and giggling, I finally got his zipper done up and he was free! He started picking up Camilla's dolls and hugging and kissing them. Then he moved to Julius, his favorite orange bear, and gave him a big squeeze. I smiled as I watched him and thought about what kind of a father he might be one day. It's important to me that my little boys learn to be gentle and kind. As I watched him with Camilla's babies I was glad to see the gentleness and love in his eyes. I became excited for the father he will one day grow up to be. I am very grateful for the example that he has to follow in his own father.
