    Default Bedtime rituals

    Do you have a bedtime ritual?

     

    I always go turn on the bedside light and the humidifier about 10 minutes before i go to bed.

    Joe gets the humidifier ready, I make sure Paige is covered and then I play my tape of soap operas for the day rewind the tape and get it ready for the next night, watch the weather double check the alarm clock and fall asleep

    I take the baby to our bed, DH goes to bed w/ the 3 yr old (since he usually wakes up through the night anyways, this allows DH to at least get a full nights sleep!) I usually nurse the baby a few times til he goes to sleep, read, then eventually zonk out.

    The joke in our house is that someday DH and I may get to sleep together in our own bed without kids in the room, but it will be a while I think. DD often comes in to our room at night and sleeps on the couch.

    The joys of kids, but they're only this age once. They won't be sleeping with us when they're in highschool

    I do my bathroom routine, turn down the heat and remind the girls to turn the lights off before they go to bed, and wish them a goodnight. Dh is already in bed, I get in dh reminds me to take off my glasses, I hand them to him to put on the nightstand, he turns off the light and presto I am out.
