Toddler bedtime is exhausting! I DON’T WANNA GO TO BED!!! Now re-read that in your loudest, whiniest voice! Oh, and don’t forget to make the pitch really HIGH!! That’s what I heard from 3 year old Alice on our last sleep over. I forgot how long the bedtime routine was!! First a bath. A really, really, R-E-A-L-L-Y long bath. Let me tell you, the kid can play in the tub until she is one very big prune. She begged for more hot water so many times we had to let water out before we could add more!! I poured in her weights worth of lavender bath bubbles and turned the lights down low and kept saying in a night quiet voice “It’s almost bed time” She ignored me. I finally had to pull the plug and put the plug out of her reach!! Finally, bath done, cute jammies on, teeth brushed, potty time, a drink of water, potty time again,…
