Night time routine
We have a night time routine that we pretty much follow. After work, I usually pick Kaylee up from daycare. Sometimes we'll go do something fun like the library or the park. Then we go home and have dinner. After dinner, it's bath time. Kaylee likes for me to leave a trickle of water coming out of the faucet. She'll use a cup to drink the water or just play with it. After bath time, I put Kaylee in my towel. She doesn't like using "baby" towels. At that point I usually take her into our room and we get her into her PJ's. Then the whole family wrestles around and she dances and does somersaults for us. Bath time is around 7:30 and we try to have her in her room to read stories by 8:30. In the middle of this time, we brush our teeth. I brush my teeth while she brushes hers. I use an electric toothbrush so Kaylee hums in order to maker her brush sound like mine. Then we read stories and after that Kaylee asks me to lay on her floor. I've put a sleeping bag down next to her bed to lay on. I lay in there for a couple minutes and then I tell her I need to go check on something or some other excuse. She usually falls asleep at that point. There's nothing like a sleeping child.

It's great that you spend so much time with her, Jeff. Hmm, I don't remember my husband doing all those things with the toddlers. I seem to remember him on the couch with a newspaper. Maybe I've just forgotten.
