I’ve been waiting a few days to post this. My internet has been out most of the week but finally seems to be fixed.
Our nighttime routine is pretty consistent unless one or the other falls asleep in the car.
They sleep in separate rooms, which I can see changing at some point in the future but for now it’s working so why change it.
I put him down first and then her. Most times he’ll go down without a fight but every few days he’ll either want to stay up for a few more minutes or will just want me to rock him. I know the days of him wanting me to hold and rock him will soon be over so I try to take in as much as I can. I wish I could just bottle up the moment so that I can relive it over and over. It’s super cute, but that’s not why I’m writing.
Her routine is a little more time consuming. Potty, brush our teeth, read a few books, and prayers. We always read a couple books, sometimes three. Some of those books are pretty long so I try to push for the shorter ones. We read the first, then say some prayers, then read the 2nd and sometimes that 3rd. Similar to him I wish I could just bottle up these moments so I can relive them whenever I want. This night was a little different. I think it was this past Tuesday. It’s not always easy to leave her room when I’m done reading. Most times she wants me to stay and sleep with her. Every now and then she gets her way…surprise 🙂 Usually I have to tell her I’ll be back, that I have some work to do or the dog needs to go out or that lil guy is crying. This night, however, I finished reading the second book and began to make my way out. When I turned to say something to her she was sound asleep. Somewhere during those few minutes she closed her eyes and that was it. That was a new first. So precious!
