Sleepy Time Update

So last night for the first time we followed a bedtime routine. Usually his bedtime is whenever we feel like he is ready, followed by an hour or so of chaos as we try to put him down.

But not last night! We started at 7:00.

Our new "ritual" is:

Bath
Nurse
Pajamas
Cuddle Time & Singing in bed
Walk or Bounce him to Sleep

I was so nervous he wouldn't sleep, that it would take hours. But then something strange happened: he actually slept. He was snoring by 7:30, and slept 4 hours till 11:30 and then another 4 hours till 3:30 then another 3 hours till 6:30. We managed to have dinner and some wine before bed, and I even got in some reading.

I am 100% sold on a bedtime for kids.

Today he has taken some killer naps, hence the following super cute photos.
