We have a very set nighttime routine with Robby in terms of getting ready for bed. The routine is as follows, with very rare deviations:
1. Mommy/Daddy announce that it is time to start getting ready for bed.
2. Robby suddenly remembers 14 or 15 urgent tasks that must be completed before bedtime preparations can begin. Much bargaining ensues.
3. PJ/teeth brushing time
4. Last minute wrestling and/or chase games are held between Robby and Daddy
5. One last potty break
6. Story time. Always a Curious George book, though we do vary on which one will be chosen
7. Prayer time and song time. Robby normally requests a minimum of five songs. We bargain this down to three. The following three songs are always chosen of late and in this exact order:
A. Jesus Loves Me --the standard
B. Jesus Loves the Little Children --a true classic
C. Life is a Highway (as prominently featured in Cars) -- recently featured in Parents magazine as one of the top lullabies of all time. .....or not.
