Bedtime Routine

Recently Dave, Carly, and I found a bedtime routine that we all enjoy. She gets a bath, is dressed in a sleep bag and hat, has her last feeding in the nursery, is put to bed, and read her bedtime prayer as I slowly back out of the room and say "goodnight" before closing the door. Tonight our routine had a few interesting speed bumps. Right before her bath Dave was giving Carly her vitamins. Some how there was a splatter and droplets ended up on the counter, my sweatshirt, and the ceiling. Then while Dave was bathing her she really began to kick in the tub. She has slowly been working up to this and Dave would just laugh, he even tried to teach her to do this a few weeks back while I was bathing her. Tonight she was successful! We had water on the floor from her, Dave stepping back from being splashed and bumping into to me... it was a real hoot to watch. We recovered quickly and the remainder of her bedtime was a success. Meaning there were no tears as I put her down and she seems to be sleeping soundly. Now we can only hope this will last through the night (like usual) and we will sleep later than today's 6am wake up call. :-)
