Night Night

Getting a pretty good night-time routine with three kids.  We’re trying to take turns putting the kids down so it’s an easier job and we both get a break.  We get a last meal/bowl of cereal or oatmeal around 7:00, then brush teeth, go potty, and pajamas.  We all head to the boys room for one story or book each; Lex always picks a super hero to hear a story about and Taye will usually want a story from daddy and a book from mommy.  Then it’s hugs and kisses for all and the boys get tucked in before Elli goes off to her room.  We put on nighttime Tad music; Elli cuddles a little then points to her crib.  We check back on the boys while they read books until they fall asleep (usually 30 minutes).  We have random weeks where someone is growing or sick or going potty or the stars are misaligned and someone is keeping us up, but for the most part, everyone sleeps until 6:30 or 7:00.
