I’ve realized that miss Mailey’s bedtime routine had become something that I dreaded. She would cry and say “No it’s not bedtime!” After a few nights of struggles with her I deiced it wasn’t worth it. She is very independent and this mama was getting VERY tired of fighting her to get to bed before 10pm. I was browsing Pinterest and actually found something I’ve used! ;)
I came across a printable bedtime chart! (Found here. You will have to scroll down a bit to find the bedtime chart). I printed that bad boy out, laminated it and plastered it to the bathroom cabinet. That night I took Mailey into the bathroom and explained that this was her bedtime chart and that she was in charge of moving the sleepy moon (free clipart I found online) as she completed each task. She loved it!
Now when bedtime comes and Mailey says “Check the Chart” and is excited about completing each task before bed. The website listed above has lots of great pintables and ideas for organizing. I have bookmarked her website and began a few other projects.
