Bedtime Routines

Our house is probably very similar to most houses with small children: -

1. Bathtime has to be with the correct Bubbles, correct Toys, correct Shampoo (not the eye-stingy one).
2. Supper has to be the correct cereal.
3. PJs have to be the current favourites (not scratchy ones).
4. The (current favourite) toothbrush must have the correct amount of (not too minty) toothpaste employed.
4. Bed has to be the right temperature, with the correct assortment of cuddly toys in the correct order on the pillow (the correct pillow too!)
5. Water must be provided in the favourite cup, refreshed daily, beside the bed.
6. The current favourite book MUST be read with the right voices (no skipping pages or lines - they always know! A suitable explanation of why 'Knight' is spelt with a 'Kicking K' and a 'gh' provided too!
7. Tucking in must be from head to toe.
8. The correct prayers must be said (all relatives named - no skipping)
9. The door must always be left open at the correct angle and the correct light left on in the hall.

Pheow. Is it any wonder parents are nackered by 8.30 !?
