Bedtime

Bedtime usually happens in 1 of 3 ways:

1. HAPPY ROUTINE
Bath; pajamas; book; song; pray; kisses; tuck in babydolls; night night.





2. TOO TIRED TO CARE
We're out late; Lucy falls asleep in the car; we put her in bed, and with her eyes still closed, she says, "sing song."

3. FULL-OUT PROTEST
Bath; pajamas; book; song; the protest starts... "no lie down" or "I eat;" we try to keep going... pray; kisses; tuck in babydolls; she's climbing out of bed while we walk/run out of the room and close the door. Lucy is now on the other side sobbing. In full protest she takes off her bow and pushes it under the door. She eventually falls asleep on the floor, and we move her to bed a few hours later.

FUNNY! Did you switch your door locks to the other side too? Anders napped on the floor for about 6 months:)

I can picture her thinking "Fine. Take THAT" as she pushes the bow under the door!
