We have some funny bedtime routines in our household.
I have one who sneaks into bed and is off into dreamland. Simple. As it should be.
Then there's one who, despite being the oldest, still cries to be cuddled and put to sleep.
And then there's the littlest one of all. He has an entire pre-sleep performance. He will sing with his dad, then yell at his dad for singing. When he's finished picking out songs, he will ask for various toys and have his dad get up to get them. Then he chatters away telling random stories. Sometimes I hear screams. It takes about 45 minutes on a typical day, then he sleeps quite happily like nothing just happened.
Then there's the morning routine, where, one by one they come into our bed. It makes me think of the children's song "Ten in the Bed" except it starts with "There were two in the bed and the first child says move over, move over..." and ends with "There are five in the bed and the mommy complains "I'm tired!"
