Good Night Sweetheart(s)

I have fond memories of singing this song with two dear friends, but also relive this phrase in practice every evening. Three small kids (6, 4, 1.5) don't go to bed alone. I am lucky in that most nights, my husband is here, and we alternate our task: one brings  the older girls to bed, the other our youngest. He still sleeps in our room in a crib, the girls share a room. After everyone has adjusted to starting school and kindergarden, I have prepared the rooms so that the youngest two can share a room, and our first grader gets her own room (as do us parents again). But even then, our 6 year old needs us to dictate her evening routines, and our youngest needs us to carry them out for him. It gets easier every year, but I'm looking forward to the day when "good night sweethearts" is just saying that, and off they go...
