I just wanted to share this in case someone else found it useful.

Every night when my children are put to bed, I make the sign of the cross on their forehead, in remembrance of their Baptism, place my hand on the side of their head and recite this prayer.

“May God bless and keep you. May the Angels of the Lord watch over you. May Mother Mary and the Saints Prayer for you.”

If I ever forget, due to some distraction of the day, they will hunt me down and let me know I still need to do this.
 
Wonderful tradition that you’ve established!

“May the Lord bless you and keep you…”
