Bath Time for Two

We have been trying really hard to get a routine together for bedtime. About a month ago the old routine that we used to do for Pennington just wasn't working anymore so we decided to change it up. A friend of mine told me it only takes 5 days to get a new routine established. So that is exactly what we did. Honestly we are still trying to figure out how to make it work with two but for right now it goes something like this.

1. Dinner for Pennington and a bottle for Piper. Note: To make sure Piper will continue to take a bottle when Mommy goes back to work we are giving Piper two two ounce bottles a day.

2. Playtime

3. Bath time for Pennington and every couple of days Piper joins in as well.

4. Quiet music while we get our pajamas on and sometimes Pennington has a little milk. Currently we are listen to Jewel Lullaby which is SOOOO relaxing.

5. Two to three bedtime stories for Pennington. If Piper is happy she gets to listen as well.

6. Pennington is held by Mommy in his room while she sings him a few songs and then lays him down while he is still awake. If Mommy has to be with Piper at that moment Daddy lays Pennington down.

7. Mommy gets to relax and get ready for bed while Daddy is with Piper.

8. Mommy reads Piper her own story and then feeds her one last time before both Mommy and Piper go to bed for the night. Note: Still can't get Piper to sleep in her crib. I am up for any suggestions.
