I can’t find this amazing bed linked anywhere – am I missing it? Would love to know where it’s from!

You have such a fun routine and not strict at all compared to ours. Our 2 boys have had the same routine since they were born. We have dinner then they play a bit while we clean up. Next comes bath time although, like you we are not giving them a bath everynight anymore. We sometimes hit two birds with one stone and give them their toothbrushes while in the bath. They are now 3 and 5 and a half and love to wash themselves. Next they pee, put on the PJs and we read a story or half of a book, the length depends on how late it is but we always let them know in advance. Then it’s lights off except for a small light and then we hug and kiss. One is a kisser and hugger the other less, we respect both their wishes. Their dad leaves, i stay with them, the youngest would Fall asleep holding my finger until a while ago but now I usually leave before they are asleep.

Have you hit any bad sleep regressions? How have you handled those?

Thank you SO much for this! My 20 month old has just starting fighting sleep again, so I’m going to work on a better bedtime routine 🙂
