Night time routine

My favorite part of my evening is spending time with Jack and making him tired so he won’t be up late. Some days like today he only took one 20 minute nap. Which mean two things: first off he will be in bed by 8pm sharp and secondly he will be cranky.

Tonight we got home around 6, I made dinner as Aaron played with Jack by 6:30 dinner is on the table and Jack is finally eating. He only ate lunch today and 3 – 8oz bottles so no breakfast which is not like Jack to miss a meal! He ate like a good boy so no worries there. I played with him after dinner while Aaron cleaned up the kitchen.

Just after 7:15 Jack started to get fussy so I took him in his room to play.  I sat him in his crib and this is our new nightly routine.

I turned on his Fisher Price Waterfall and he sat and watched it for a few minutes. Yes, Jack has his own pillow.

Then he starts to interact with the waterfall with his bear in his mouth; it has lights and plays music and their is a monkey, a toucan and a frog that swing back and forth; in case you didn’t know.

Then it starts: up, down, up and down still with the bear in his mouth. (see his little dimple)

Up and…

Back down…

Then his daddy enters the room to play the ‘game’ with him.

Then the bear goes overboard…

Jack thinks its funny when the bear hits the ground. Either Aaron or I pick it up and throw it back in the crib and this ‘game’ continues for 5 – 10 minutes.

When we throw his bear back in or other toys, note the bowling pin in his crib; he laughs into his pillow like a crazy boy. He is too funny!

Then we read him his books before he gets his bottle and before you know it it’s 8pm and he’s wiped out!

Good night Pumpkin! We love you!
