Bed Time



I have been trying to post this for over a month, but different things got in the way.  First, my internet crashed before I could save it, then Bryan got sick, (sick baby means messed up bed time routine) After that, there wasn't a good excuse other than, we were always away from home around bed time.
With the exception of yesterday, we are kinda getting back into the swing of things.  Added bonus:  B has been napping longer during the day.  Whoohoo! mommy time.

  • Bed time is supposed to happen around 8-9, depending on when he wakes from his last nap.
  • I give him his vitamins.
  • Change into nighttime diaper and Pajamas
  • Brush/wrestle those teeth clean
  • Read a book
  • Nurse
On rare occasions, he doesn't fall asleep during his "snack"  If that happens,  then one of us will sing him to sleep.  We also do this if he wakes up when we try to put him down.  His favorite songs are "A You're Adorable," "You Are My Sunshine", and our two Mommy and Daddy made up songs "Baby Grandpa Go To Sleep" (to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle")  and "Down by Auntie Jill's"  (to the tune of "Down By The Bay")  Sometimes he will fall asleep to "Polliwog in a Bog" from Barenaked Ladies.
He isn't sleeping through the night still, but he doesn't get up and play either.  He wakes up once around 11(or when I get in bed) then again sometime after that when I am too tired to check the time.  At around 8, he is up for the morning.  way better than the 6 he tried to pull on me in the beginning.
He is still in our bed.  Partially because his room is the coldest in the house and the heater is broken in that part, and partially because we like to cuddle.  I plan to move him to his crib in the summer.  Whether Mommy and Daddy are ready for him to go, or not.  

We love bed time.  Lies
