Bedtime(so I don't forget...)

Bedtimes around our house come at 7:00, 7:30, and 8:00 and each little Floyd has their own routine. It's actually kinda funny when I stop and think about it:).

7:00pm Sophy: Bath and jammies, likes her cup of warm milk and guzzles the entire thing in under a minute(Mommy singing to her while she guzzles), then wants "num-num"(aka pacifier) and her soft purple blankie. She manages to sleep with the blankie completely wrapped around her head and her little bum up in the air.

7:30pm Hayley: After bath, jammies, and lots of Spanish stories with Daddy, we tiptoe back to the girls room as quietly as possible so we don't wake up Soph. Hayley then gets up in her bed and pulls her jammies up to her armpits. She asks me to put the "sparkly" side(aka the satin shiny side) of her blanket on her belly and her other blanket over her legs and feet. Every night she says "Mommy, I want the "parkly" side on my belly, not the soft side, the "parkly" side." Then we pray and she asks me to sing her "Good night my angel."

7:30-8:00pm Myles: (same bath, jammies, teeth, stories with Daddy) Daddy usually puts Myles to bed, but then he always wants me to come in too, so it really doesn't save me any time:). After I kiss him he says, "Can you just lay down with me a couple seconds??" And I can't resist that cute boy, so I do:). He then proceeds to ask me a million random questions like "What would happen if our house didn't have a roof and it started raining right now?" and "What if Sophy talks Chinese when she starts talking, instead of English?" and "How many dark naps til we see Wyatt again?" and "Can we go to Starbucks to get chocolate milk tomorrow?"... Then last he asks again, "I can still live with you when I get married right?" Then he wants me to put a pillow in the door so his door won't accidently close during the night.

8:00ish Kyra: Kyra and I snuggle on the couch and read a chapter of our current book, right now it's the Wizard of Oz. When she climbs up in the top bunk, she tucks in Lanie(her american girl doll) with her own blanket and pillow at the foot of the bed. Then she spreads out her blanket, soft side up perfectly over her pillow. She lays down on the silky pillow and pulls her other sheets and blanket up. Then we pray and I lightly scratch her back and kiss her good night. At the door of her room I always blow her a kiss and she catches it and blows one back.

And they're snug as 4 bugs in a rug:)
