He is two and I always give him a bubble bath and then some warm milk then we sit for a while and look at books and discuss what we are going to do in the morning (usually 7am!). After that we say "night night" to Grandad and he always goes straight to sleep. I think a relaxed routine is the best plan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29911725.post-81878372964595709052008-10-28T10:24:00.000+08:002008-10-28T10:24:00.000+08:00updated mom,That sounds like a wonderful routine. ...updated mom,<BR/>That sounds like a wonderful routine. :)Mumsgatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578910510946597934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29911725.post-90616117874536806252008-10-26T18:52:00.000+08:002008-10-26T18:52:00.000+08:00Bedtime routines for me is reading to my two kids ...Bedtime routines for me is reading to my two kids - my girl is twelve but love to listen to anything that I read for my 7 year old - then we would chat and laugh before calling it a night. <BR/><BR/>Then comes some catching up time between me and hubby and depending on mood and what's on tv (LOL) our tog time could be as short as 20 min or as long as 2 hours. ;)Updated Mom ;)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12019222684677126034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29911725.post-61397112004523609342008-10-09T12:51:00.000+08:002008-10-09T12:51:00.000+08:00It's great to hv a good routine...It's great to hv a good routine...cre8tonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03408120231638909386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29911725.post-65706106817071143492008-09-26T19:14:00.000+08:002008-09-26T19:14:00.000+08:00You very good liao la, give foot massage to hubby....You very good liao la, give foot massage to hubby.
