I would go crazy if I didn’t have some sort of a nightly routine. Not that it is helping me this week because Abby is staying up late due to Spring Break – but normally… we eat at 6:30, do homework while I’m cleaning the kitchen, play until 7:40, bathe at 7:45 and bed at 8:30. Seriously, we do the exact same thing every night (except the bath is usually every-other-night). Mine work better on a routine….
bath
pajamas
passy for Maggie
(don’t fuss… she’s my last baby – she can have it at bedtime as long as she wants!)
potty and diaper change
(hopefully not too much longer though… we’re potty training)
pile in Abby’s bed for stories
Maggie rolls around and Abby kicks her feet up in the air (the whole time we’re reading) as she “comes down” from her medicine
one more potty break… just for “insurance”
Abby’s prayers, lots of kisses and sweet dreams
close her door half way, but DON’T TURN THE HALL LIGHT OFF!
(like I could forget – she reminds me EVERY NIGHT)
put Maggie to bed
Maggie’s prayers, lots of kisses, sweet dreams and turn on her music box
close her door half way
Maggie: I wan a dink a water
Abby: Water please
