Little feet pattering on the tiled floor. The door creaks open.
Joash: Bye bye, Mummy.
Jaclyn: Bye bye, Joash.
Joash: Bye bye, Mummy.
Jaclyn: Yes, bye bye, Joash.
Joash: Goodnight, Mummy.
Jaclyn: Goodnight.
Joash blows a flying kiss. Jaclyn blows the kiss back.
Joash: Bye bye, Mummy...
The sequence repeats itself a few times till Joash deems it sufficient and turns to leave, closing the door behind him.
This is the routine that occurs every bedtime. It can be annoying at times when I'm trying to get something done and waiting for him to finish his stipulated farewells can test my patience. However, I remind myself to treasure the many goodnights I'm getting from him and collect them in my heart for the future. Because sooner or later, when he's all grown up, I will not get to hear them every night anymore... *smiles ruefully*

I love this. Thanks for sharing it. Joash is an adorable boy & you are definitely doing a great job!
Thank you for your encouragement although as much as we try as parents to bring them up well, it's the Lord who works in their hearts...
