Bedtime Routine

After playing with friends, having a picnic with neighbors at the park, cleaning, school, and bathtubs...you'd think kids would be plenty tired. But somehow kids are never ready for bedtime.

Four children later, we finally have come up with a bedtime routine that works well for us....at least for now.

It's always been the battle. Crying, excuses, threatening to lose privileges, and more crying.

Our new schedule is to get PJs on, brush teeth, family scriptures, then prayer.

Paige then gets a song and is off to bed.

Molly then gets special story time with mom or dad in their bed while Eden and Leila have quiet time. Then Molly is off to bed.

Finally, Eden and Leila get a few stories and then they are off to bed.



I hope this continues.  Its been nice to have a few minutes of love with each of my kids at nighttime.
