Bedtime Routine

About two weeks ago, The Present and I were getting ready for bed, and I decided to type up a list of things he has to do before bed. We titled the list "Bedtime Routine".

The list includes the following:

  • Go Potty

  • Put on Jammies

  • Brush Teeth

  • Read Story

  • Say Prayers

The Present got to draw on the bottom of the list and then we hung it on my bathroom mirror. Each night we look at the list and attempt to do everything on it. Some nights we get them all done, and some nights we miss one or two things.

The Present gets more and more interested each night. A few nights ago, he wanted to look at the list and make sure we had done everything on the list. We read through the list and sure enough, we had done everything on it.

"Now it's time to go to bed." I said.

"THAT's not on the list." he said.

Guess I need to add one more thing to the list.

Too funny...just when you think you have a handle on parenting the kid steps in to remind you who's the smartest...I love it.
