Or not. So bed time in our household has it's routine as I am sure it does in most houses. Ours however is a little different. See John doesn't get home until around 7:30, 8:00 pm some nights, so he claims night, night time as it's his 'quality' time with the girls. But it's never that easy. I have just recently stopped having to 'rock' Amelia, so it's a little easier on me. He starts w/ the potty, both of them are told to go....okay check. Next it is time for Kaylie to get her allergy meds of which she now has to open herself, okay check. At this point he puts Amelia in her bed, tucks her in, kisses her and wishes her sweet dreams, check...I do this before she hits her room. Of course he has to turn on her nightlight, and if he forgets we hear screams.
Now it's time for Kaylie, easier said than done....he goes in her room, turns on her humidifier, and night light and has to CONVINCE her to get in her bed, easier said than done. Once she is in bed, he has to come back out, go in the bathroom, get a cup, then in the kitchen, get her some water, back in her room for her to drink it, then back in the bathroom w/ the cup for use tom am...then back in her bedroom, for the 4 THINGS on Kaylie's list. #1) I love my entire family...we love you too Kaylie #2) Daddy, can you wear Spongebob and Cheeburger, Cheeburger to bed tonight (his pj's), if not can you wear Ducky and I don't even know which shirt, if not can you wear...blah, blah, blah....Okay Kaylie #3) What time are you, Mommy and Chloe going to bed?....Soon (In the meantime Amelia has already gotten up once to go to the bathroom)..... #4) I don't even know what this question is....then I will usually hear some yelling from John and finally after about 20 minutes he comes out of her room all frustrated. Before Kaylie goes to bed, I give her the "you better not get out of your bed speach", she says I know, not unless I'm bleeding, or need to go to the hospital, or have to go potty (which usually occurs at least once or twice more between 9 & 10pm),.......those are the rules, because she will come out of her room 10X before she actually goes to sleep. Amelia on the other hand has a new tradition of her own, she has stopped pooping in her pants YEAH...instead it's a 1/2 hour ordeal at 9 pm almost nightly of her on the potty going poop....the other night she actually came out of the bathroom and had spread the poop all over the front of her pajama's....oh yeah, fun times!!!! So that is our night, night routine...now if John isn't home, I can guarantee it doesn't take me that long...."Good night, I love you, Sweet Dreams" and kiss goodnight...out the door. I can't complain, he lets it happen.......I just need the routine to shorten as school approaches, cause it just makes it a lot harder for me in the am, to get the process moving.
Last night I didn't know what to do w/ myself, the each only came out of their rooms once and after 9pm I didn't see them once. I did however hear Amelia a couple times in the middle of the night, come out of her room and go right back in...which leads us to the photo below, this is how Jamie found her 3 minutes after she put her down for her nap this afternoon....it was either all the "TASTY" banana cream pie she had just eaten or she was pooped. Sorry about the resolution, Jamie took this w/ her cell phone.
