So our bedtime routine for the last few weeks has gone something like this:
1) Corral Ike into brushing his teeth.
2) Attempt to read a story. Attempt usually means we get 40-60% done with the book and then Ike wants to play more.
3) Hugs and kisses and tuck in #1
4) Followed by tuck in #2, #3, and #4. He’ll move his feet or stand up and then request to be tucked in again.
5) About 2 minutes after we leave the room it’s either the proclamation that he has boogers or needs to go potty.
6) Two minutes after that it’s the un-asserted of #5.
7) Request for tuck in #5. Denied.
8) Begin catastrophic meltdown
Generally he gives up and goes to sleep somewhere between 9 and 10. Oy.
We’ll be thrilled when this stage passes…other than bedtime he’s the most awesome little boy there is.
