I want to start by saying I am so sorry I have not posted in a while. Especially sorry Abby Kate. This is your scrapbook of sorts so it isn't because of neglect, I promise. So I was SO pumped to have my new Mac but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to post pictures. I have a guy coming over this week to try to save all my info from my old PC who happens to work for Apple so hopefully he can help me out.
But in the meantime, I would love to ask a question. I know this seems silly but I seriously want to know this. Our bedtime routine from day one has been bath, bottle (now book), and then bed. She has never gone to sleep without a bath. I know, most of you are thinking I have too much time on my hands, that I don't have more than one child, etc...but it has proven to be great wind down time as well as serving as a great bedtime promter. So up to this point, when she is finished with her bath, I take her out, carry her to the vanity where there is a towel to lay her on as well as dry her off with. I then lotion her up and get her jammies on. So here is my question, she is outgrowing the vanity. Fast. What do your bedtime rountines look like? Do you do lotion? Where do you get your kiddos ready for bed? I would LOVE to know your answers.
Also, while you are posting, how did you transition your child to a toddler bed?
Thanks buddies!

Well it's about darn time you posted! Welcome back and please give Bobby my best.
We do baths for the boys every night and use our bathtub instead of the guest bathroom. I then towel them off and do lotion and pj's on our bed- plenty of room. Then we all pile on the bed for a sippy cup, book and teeth brushing before carrying them to their room for the night.
Could you put a nice fluffy towel on the floor of the bathroom and just take care of AK there?
Thanks friend. Good idea as always! I thought about moving her to our bath but it is shaped strangely and is hard to get to her....I have loved reading your blog. You are such a great story teller! I miss you so much!
Hi Stephanie. It's been so long. Rudy was talking about Bobby the other day and I thought I really need to see how you are doing. Miss Liza Jane is lucky to get a bath every other day :) and it's usually not at night. So our evening is a sippy cup of milk, 2 books (one Bible one she picks), a family prayer and into bed. If you get any good advice on the toddler bed please let me know! We have to move LJ soon so Chaz can have the crib, but she refuses!
OK here is how it goes over here. Once they grew out of the changing table I moved to the floor or the couch. All of my kids were in a big bed y 18 months. Basically because I was about to give birth again. I told each one that they were getting a BIG boy/girl bed. I took the crib completely down and hid it for awhile. That way they wouldn't see it and beg to be back in it. From the first night in the bed I put them to sleep the way I wanted to end up doing it in months to come. Does that make sense? If they opened the door, I gave them one warning not to do it again and placed them back in bed. My kids slept better in the big beds vs. the crib. We have had success. Good luck. Make it fun and she will love it.
