Bedtime (Bath Night) Routine

Since Ryder started taking baths in February 2010 (he took showers with one of us before that time), he has had the same bedtime routine on bath nights (on non-bath nights it's the same, just without the bath!).  Now that there are two brothers in the mix, the routine has changed slightly.

We first start with Ryder in the bath (pardon the yellow pictures - that's what happens when you don't use a flash in a very orange bathroom!).



One brother is added at a time, with Ryder in the bath.

While the second one is getting a bath, the first one gets dressed.  While the second one gets dressed, the first one hangs out in one of the cribs.  By the time the second baby and Ryder are dressed, both babies are in the crib, and recently Ryder asks to join them for a few minutes before he brushes his teeth and goes to bed!

Bath nights take quite a bit longer than they used to - but, all 3 boys love the bath!  And, I love the way they all smell after bath night!
