Night time routine

Sometimes the night time routine takes forever, but it is still one of my favorite parts of the day. When all goes well the boys love their bath, which they take together. The bathroom gets very wet in the process. After PJs they tumble into Julien's bed. Julien reads a story, then I read a story, then we lie down for an "underneath story," which is really a discussion. For the last two weeks we have been imagining floats for a parade- an insect float, a manatee float, a Star Wars float, a float for all his favorite books, etc. Every night we come up with a new one. Then we all get up for Julien to go potty one last time. Then we tuck him in and then I take Sebastian in to our room and nurse him to sleep.

At some point this will all simplify. For now, I am happy to have a bit of time each day just concentrating on the boys without too many extra distractions.
