I have a lot of routines in my life. My bedtime routine has changed a bit, but is now pretty consistent. After books and brushing teeth, when it is time to turn in, I start off with a piggyback ride from Daddy. We ask Alexa to turn off the lights and then we say “Oyasumi“. We head to the bedroom where we look at the cat on Mommy’s jewelry hanger. Then Daddy collapses into bed. I roll off him and he pretends that he can’t find me. Then he goes on all fours and then I climb up on him and then roll, or fall, off. Then it is my job to turn off the lights. Then we watch a couple of Super Simple Songs.
After that I am supposed to go to sleep, but I usually roll around a lot and talk a lot and ask a lot of questions. Eventually I get around to closing my eyes and going to sleep…but it usually takes a while. I’m in bed before nine, and on good days I’m asleep before ten.
