Bedtime with the duggars

Question from a "19 Kids and Counting" fan: Did any of your children have issues with settling down at bedtime or staying in their own bed for the night?

There’s a difference between a little one with a bad attitude who doesn’t want to stay in their bed for bedtime versus a little one that wakes up in the middle of the night and wants to cuddle up with daddy and me.

I am not a stickler about them staying in their own rooms at night; I’ve never been really rigid about it. If one of mine wakes up in the middle of the night and comes pitter-pattering down the hallway to climb into bed with daddy and me, I love it. I don’t mind that a bit. I just let them come and snuggle with dad and me, and we all wake up in the morning smooshed all over the bed. Usually there are two or three in there by the morning. At night, you’ll hear all these little feet pitter-pattering across the floor.

If it’s more of an issue of having an attitude about going to bed, I like to practice with them during the daytime. It helps them learn to obey mama and understand when it’s time to be quiet -- we call it happy nappy time. We don’t just do nappy time. We do happy nappy time.

I’ll announce to Josie and to Jordyn, “It’s happy nappy time in 15 minutes, so we’re going to have a snack and then get ready for happy nappy time.” Sometimes their little faces aren’t so happy about hearing naptime’s coming, but I tell them, “We’re going to be happy.”

I don’t let them whine and I don’t let them grumble and complain and pout. I also let them sing to Jesus as they go to sleep, which they really like. They are allowed to sing quietly to themselves. They can’t be real loud or obnoxious, and they have to keep their head on the pillow. They know the rule is head down. And they know that if they don’t follow the rules, mommy will come and scold them. They don’t want to be scolded, so they listen to mommy!

When they wake up, it’s the cutest thing. I’ve taught them, “When you wake up and you’re all done with happy nappy time, then you get to play.” When they’re done, sometimes I’ll hear them wake up, and they’ll be singing to me: “Mommy, I’m all done. Happy nappy time’s all done.” Then they get rewarded for being so good.

How the Duggars Share Love on Valentine's Day

FAMILY MATTERS on 02.08.13

Question from a "19 Kids and Counting" fan on Facebook: Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day, and if so, how?

Our family celebrates Valentine’s Day a little differently with our friends, the Query family. My dear friend Debbie Query is a widow with four children. Her husband was tragically killed in a car accident when their youngest child was 2 years old. Every year, she puts together a special luncheon for women who are on their own because of tragedy, divorce or even abandonment. She felt like it was a time of year when single women needed to be encouraged and loved. It’s common to feel like a fifth wheel when you are alone, especially at Valentine’s Day. It’s a time when couples will usually be getting gifts for each other or going out for a Valentine’s meal. Debbie and her family reach out to women that don’t have a Valentine, and host a special Valentine’s banquet just for them.

The banquet is a lovely luncheon and tea. The Querys make all of the food: little sandwiches, beautiful green salads and fresh fruit salads. The children dress up in white shirts, black bowties and black dress pants, and serve as waiters for the banquet. The boys are true gentlemen; they escort the ladies to their seats and then give them each a little gift. The children also bring their instruments and play music for the event. Violin and harp music makes the event really beautiful. Often, we’ll have a special speaker that will come and give a speech to the guests. The banquet actually used to be at the Query’s home, but it got so big that we moved it to a larger building. One year we had close to 100 people!

Debbie Query has organized this for a number of years now, and our children have really enjoyed being a part of this unique Valentine’s Day event. They like being able to show the ladies that they are special, that they’re loved, and that this is a special time of the year for them, too. These special ladies are cared for, even though they may not have their own Valentine with them. They are loved, God loves them and we do, too. 

Josh and Anna update!

Josh was visiting the state capital for the past two days to make sure that the pill for abortion gets pass. Yesterday He and Anna had a date night. The family believes in weekly date nights.



19 kids and counting will be returning in March 2013.
