Sleep Routine

Putting Evelyn to sleep was always such a mystery to me.

But with Mikey I feel I have a rhythm for it.

We sit and rock in the rocking chair and he starts to drift off. Sometimes I sing, or read something to myself.

Then when he is sleepy I lay him in his bed and wrap him in his blanket and his eyes open and I kiss him and walk away. And he sleeps.

This can easily evolve to rocking in the chair and reading him a bedtime story before tucking him into bed and walking away.

I hope that's how things progress. I love this routine above all the ones I've ever read.
