Rachel had a night out with friends so it was just me and the kids tonight. For the past month or so we have really struggled keeping Nolan in bed at nights. He is so wound up and will not fall asleep. Tonight I was using the "Super Nanny" technique of just sitting on the floor with my head bowed so he won’t get out of bed, but at the same time not giving him any attentions. I figured as long as I was in the position I might as well pray. As I was praying I prayed that I would know how to calm Nolan down to get him to sleep (he was still jabbering and bouncing around in his bed). The impression came to me to massage his head. So after I finished praying, Nolan was in the process of climbing out of bed again. I put him back in bed and started massaging his head, mostly on the sides above his ears. I was surprised at how relaxed it made him. Normally he doesn’t really like anyone touching his head. As I was doing this I got another impression to give him a fathers blessing. I did so by the power of the priesthood. I blessed him that he would have a happy demeanor and learn to control his temper. I blessed him that he would be able to calm down and relax at bed time so that he could get adequate rest. I blessed him that he could sense when he made others happy or sad and that he would have a desire to make others happy – especially his mother. It was a sweet experience. He fell asleep very shortly after that blessing.
