If you have one

mom2tripp replied: for your children that is

C&K*s Mommie replied: DH is supposed to brush their teeth at night (does not always happen), then they say their bedtime prayers, and crawl into bed. But Christian is always awake waiting for me when I get home at 10 from class. So she stays up playing, then we go to bed together later on. Now that I am out for a few weeks, I will do the same of brushing their teeth, but I will get back into the habit of reading stories, and then they take turns reading, then we say g'night. BTW-- I always say "good night, sleep tight, love you, sweet dreams, I will see you in the morning!" (I say it to both to be fair)

NikkiM replied: While dinner is cooking I bath the kids (when Im off work).... we eat.... clean kitchen.... we play for a bit then around 8pm Madison is ready for bed. Logan is a bit harder, we usually fight him to sleep.

Well, dinner is around 5 then Tripp plays until 6. Bathtime is at 6 everynight, then he has a sippy cup of milk at 6:30, brushes his teeth around 6:45, and then we read until 7. I hold him while his daddy kisses him and says goodnight, I thank God for him, kiss him, hug him, tell him we'll see him in the morning, and lay him down

MyLuvBugs replied: You mean you don't want to know that I brush my teeth and wash my face before I go to bed? lol

Well, on nights that we don't get a bath, little miss get a diaper change, teeth brushed, teething tablets or tylenol, hair brushed, and jammy's on. Then we sit in the rocker and rock until she's asleep. Some nights she gets a story, but we've realized that that seems to excite her and then it takes longer to get her to go to sleep.

ammommy replied: After dinner, the kids get to choose a movie. Then we brush teeth, get jammies on, read a book or 4. Megan goes into her crib with Alec singing a lullaby (which funnily enough is The Road from one of the LOTR movies ). Alec says his prayers, we check for marmuts ( ), turn on his fan, music, lights, gets a lullaby and a cup of water by his bed.

moped replied:
Same thing here exactly - LOL.........wonder how that happened? LOL

Except we don't read yet....but I really must start that

Kaitlin'smom replied:
I was wondering that

coasterqueen replied: Dinner then playtime or bath time. We only do baths every other night. On nights it's not bathtime we have longer playtime. Then pj's. Then while I'm putting Megan to sleep Kylie gets to watch 1/2 hour of whatever show she wants. When that's over and if I've gotten Megan to sleep then we read books. If it takes longer to get Megan asleep Kylie gets to watch a bit more of her shows, but then we always read 1 to 5 books before bed. Then she brushes her teeth and off to bed.

PhiMuMommy replied: my son's bedtime is a little screwy becaue i work nights so i don't go to bed till late.. and his grandma works at 6 am.. so she sleeps early.. so my son gets messed up constantly.. but usually we eat dinner, take a bath.. i wrap him like a taco. (wrap the towel around him real tight so he has no arms..lol.) then i "eat him" or tickle the crap out of him.. then we put in bob the builder tape and he lays on my chest watching the movie till he falls asleep..

all that is about to change tho.. because santa was nice enough to get him a new bed this year.. so he'll no longer be sleeping with mommy.. (YEAH MOMMY)
