Bedtime "routine"

The experts recommend setting up a bedtime routine with your child at a very early age so that they learn to wind down and go to sleep on their own.  Well, we haven't exactly followed that advice to a "T" but luckily, Josiah doesn't seem to notice.  He is an excellent sleeper and goes to bed at the drop of a hat even if we are somewhere else and have the pack-n-play set up.  I attribute that mostly to the fact that he learned to sleep at Nana and Gramma's in their pack-n-plays during his first year and feels very comfy and safe in them.  But I digress, back to the "routine".  The other night I had the camera handy so I video taped how the "routine" went on this particular evening.  As you can see, there is little "routine" to it, it's more a mad dash scramble on Josiah's part to get one last "play" in with all of his toys before he goes to sleep:-)  But no matter, right after the camera stopped rolling I laid him down and he was out for the next 11 hours!  Yes, we realize we are lucky!
