A New Routine

Since Tripp was just a baby, we have read to him at bedtime (like 90% of parents, I'm sure). He loves to listen to the same books OVER and OVER and OVER again. Well, for whatever reason, we never started this routine with Makinley. I guess she's always been so easy to put down. For
14 months, I nursed her to sleep each night. Then, once we transitioned her to the bottle, all she wanted was for you to give her the bottle and lay her down. I guess we took advantage of the 5 minute bedtime routine because of Tripp's 30 min- 1 hour bedtime routine! :-) Joey decided tonight that he wants to start reading to her each night as well. It's funny, Makinley has decided that Mommy doesn't put her to bed any more. Daddy does. I'll try to take her and she'll wiggle out of my arms and go find her Daddy. So, I took a picture of the first night of a new routine. Aren't they precious?
