Bedtime Routines

Most children have a normal bedtime routine where the mom cuddles up with them on their bed or on the sofa, reads them a bedtime story, and then gives them a kiss goodnight before tucking them to bed. Well, not ours.

First of all, our baby can’t sit still enough to be cuddled or read to so that’s out the window. Second, she’s a bit quirky like me, so I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me when her bedtime routine involves insisting that I “drive” her to her room in her toy car to sleep.

If the wife happens to take Caitlyn to her room before she gets a cruise around the block, she’ll rush out of the room, take my hand, and lead me to her car, where she then sits, waiting for me to push her back to her room. Only then is she willing to go to sleep.

We definitely have a “special” kid on our hands.


Taking baby for a stroll
Not on the grass!



 
At the amusement park
Tea time!

Having a fun time
My head's stuck!
 
Goodbye!
Whee!



 
Is it raining yet?
Oh, it's windy!
 
Anyone home?
Coming through!
 
Help me!
At the park
 
Time for a pose
A huge sandpit in the park
 
Having fun
Want some sand?

I'm waiting for my ride, Daddy!
