Bed Time


I never thought an almost 2 year old could get out of bed as many times as he as in the last 2 hours. It's always something. I thought that didn't happen until he is older. Nope. I was wrong. 

Our usual bedtime routine includes: 
1 - Going to the bathroom and changing diaper
2 -Brushing teeth
3 -saying prayers - and Tanner is doing pretty well saying "Thanks grandpa, Thanks church, Thanks Jesus, Thanks Books, Thanks Dada" ( he never says mom- maybe because I am making him go to bed)
 4- saying family prayers - and from Tanner a reminder to say thanks for Grandpa
5- reading some scriptures- we are currently in 1 Nephi chapter 16
6- singing a song " You are my sunshine"
7- Saying I love you
8- Sleep tight- and Tanner repeats "Tight"
9- Lots of Hugs and Kisses and even Hulk Hugs ( Big Hugs)
and he waves bye

Then comes the getting out of bed. 
He will say "Drink"  - and I say no you already had a bottle
and back in bed
Then he says Poop - and I say " you already went to the bathroom" but we try it again and he pees in the toilet again
and back in bed
Then he gets out and plays with things, toys, books, etc
and back in bed
Then he changes his own diaper and puts it in the garbage and tries to put his own pants back on with out a diaper. So fix diaper.
Back in bed
Comes down stairs and points to his nose "this" meaning he needs a tissue. Gets him a tissue. 
Back in bed. 

How many times does he get out in 2 hours. I am still counting.

That's too funny! Yep--it starts as soon as they're in a big bed and it never ends.

He's so cute! Wait til he's almost 9 and still jumping out. Then the sparks fly! I always tell my kids "I have given you ALL day long. This is finally my time! GET IN BED!"
