Prayin' with Patsy

Caroline has a thing for Patsy "Clime." We celebrated her second birthday at Mama Norma and Papa Connie's a few weeks ago, and she impressed everyone with her ability to sing "Walking After Midnight." She's since worn me out on it, so I've introduced some other Patsy songs, including Crazy, which she can identify within 2 seconds of hearing the intro.

Caroline also has a favorite book called Good Night Prayer. Most nights she chooses it along with a few of her other favorites. A couple weeks ago I realized she pretty much had the book/prayer memorized and could recite it with a little prompting. So tonight I asked her to help me read it. Here's how it went:

Mama: Now...
Caroline: ...I lay me down to sleep.

Mama: I...
Caroline: ...fall to pieces.

That's a far as we got. I mean, where do you go from there?
