Every night we had the same routine with our kids before bed. We read, prayed, and sung. But then I made the kids glow in the dark shapes for the ceiling.

We have used them as car trip entertainment, potty training motivation, and just plain fun.

He is good at eating things, throwing things, tearing things apart, walking, smiling, and pooping. None of these skills really come in handy when it comes to Mother’s Day crafts.
