Bedtime

It is important in our house to have a bedtime routine and stick to it.  After dinner, dada runs the girls bath while mom cleans up the kitchen.  After the girls have taken their bath they usually play a little with mama and dada before being put down in their cribs for the night.  Sticking to this routine has paid off and now Emily knows when it's time to get in her bed and when Avery sees Emily going down she knows it's her time as well.  I am so thankful for bedtime routines because mama has time to pick up around the house, do laundry or sometimes just sit back and relax while I let the day's stresses fade away.

Time for bed.  Avery observes sister in her crib and knows it's time for bed.

Uh-oh, it's almost time to take Emily's mattress down a notch.
