Every night before going to bed Micaiah has a very specific routine that he likes to go through. First, he gets changed into his pj's. Then he brushes his teeth and drinks about two cups of water. Then he stops in the hallway on the way to his bedroom to say goodnight to the furnace and the water heater. What makes it really cute is the way that he says water heater.
I think the routine got started in my attempt to relieve the fear that he had toward what was behind this door. Before we started doing this he would often stand outside of it saying, "fire" over and over again because he had seen the flame inside of the furnace but did not know what it was. Now he will not go to bed without saying goodnight to them. Maybe it's his way of making peace with these two daunting machines before he closes his eye's for the night.
