Good for you that you have more time in the evening coz you can still bring her for a walk after bath, it will help to dissipate all the remaining energy she has I guess. On weekends if we are not outside, we will also take her for a walk in the park after dinner, and bath her when we are back, in this case she hardly protests.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282660171759528656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584986416874249116.post-30475420601654072622012-07-18T09:20:59.867+08:002012-07-18T09:20:59.867+08:00Hi June, Thanks for dropping by, We do have a bedt...Hi June, Thanks for dropping by, We do have a bedtime routine for Kah Yen too. On weekends it is shower, milk, read, saying goodnight to the house, prayer and lights out. However on weekdays, she baths at our Nanny's place. She plays while husband and I have our dinner. Hence it is a bit of challenge to take her away from her toy straight into the bedroom.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282660171759528656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584986416874249116.post-48662162073224866302012-07-17T16:40:07.847+08:002012-07-17T16:40:07.847+08:00Those are all really good ideas.

I generally have the same effect as you when I say "milk" or "bath" but I suspect with things like "lunch" or "change" she will run away. Sophia's routine is roughly bath, walk, milk, brush (violently protested), carried into bed. Here's when there's a divergence depending on who is putting her into bed. If its me then its lights off and I hold her hand till she falls sleep. If its grandpa then he carries her for a while, then puts her down and pat her to sleep, all with lights on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3584986416874249116.post-33452295351877225912012-07-16T22:08:48.101+08:002012-07-16T22:08:48.101+08:00Having a bedtime routine is probably the best thin...Having a bedtime routine is probably the best thing for young kids. Though they do still go through the phase of trying to test our limits and push their boundaries. For us, it's usually bath, pjs, milk, brush teeth, and bedtime story, and finally prayer. It's been quite okay so far. I think it's good that you prep her by saying what's coming up next. I still use that quite often too, even though my older one is already 3. :)Junehttp://www.mamawearpapashirt.comnoreply@blogger.com
