People are often surprised to hear that our girls go to bed by 7 pm. This hasn’t always been this easy, but having a predictable five step bedtime routine helps.
Here is our current bedtime routine. Hopefully you will find this helpful as you establish yours.
Step 1: Place kids in bath until water is everywhere but in the bathtub.
Step 2: Change everyone into their PJs, including yourself since your clothes are now soaking wet.
Step 3: Heat up milk while signing “Buenas Noches” in Spanish. Our kids will flat out refuse to go to bed without a warm glass of milk and the “Buenas Noches” song.
Step 4: Download a bilingual story and attempt to read it out loud while your 3-year-old corrects your pronunciation.
Step 5: Kiss your little angels goodnight.
Am I missing anything? What does your bedtime routine look like?
