Bedtime!

UPDATE: GIVEAWAY CLOSED! 

I'm so excited to be teaming up with JORD Watches (see them  here!) to show you guys our bedtime routine. And one lucky reader will win a $100 E Gift Code to JORD!

I (like a lot of moms) am a HUGE schedule person; I thrive off to-do lists, and seriously nothing makes me more energized than writing down all my plans for the week and referencing my notebook about 23 times a day. Hence I'm really struggling to get on board with electronic calendars - I want something I can cross off! 

I'm also extremely time sensitive. I have this terribly annoying habit of showing up 5 minutes early to everything since I always think places are farther away than my phone directions tell me. So maybe I just have trust issues ;). Haha who knows. 

Anyways, bedtime is pretty much a nightly sprint triathlon. (Anyone else?) They both are exhausted at the same time - around 7:30pm - and Michael's gone. So it's a loco juggling act for half an hour but then suddenly they're both in bed and everything's silent and I CAN BREATHE.

First I feed Cannon as much as his little tummy will allow! Lydia is typically climbing on my back (accurate pic), jumping on the couch or trying on every necklace she owns.

When Cannon is full I burp him and read books with my girl! Lately she's been obsessing over like 5 books; we read them constantly for a week until I get sick of them, and then I hide them and she's forced to find new ones ;).

Then I lay Cannon on his belly for tummy time and we brush teeth. Lydia thinks she's super big and wants to do it herself. 

Next up, clean diapers for everyone! 

Speaking of diapers, Lydia has been taking hers off lately??? Yikes. I realllllly didn't want to start potty training for a few more months but we might have to. 

Aaaaand more books. I'm so happy this girl loves to read! But it's hard on nights when I really just need her to go to bed quickly. MORE BOOKS MAMA. 

Pretty soon all three of us will not be fitting on this rocking chair.

We pray, sing a song and give lots of kisses to everyone and everything - Baby Cannon, Teddy Bear, binkies - no one is exempt!

Then after she's in bed I quietly swaddle Cannon and lay him in the pack n play in our room! In the next few weeks I want to transition him to the crib in Lydia's room, we'll see how ambitious I'm feeling ;).

And finally I tiptoe out, tell myself how awesome I am, and pray for the best!! ;)
