Bedtime routine with Cameron

Cameron has become accustom to quite a routine at bedtime lately. Every now and the the routine will change slightly but only at Cameron's request.

Every night, Cameron puts on his own pj's...very rarely will he let us help him. Once he is in his pj's it is time to read books...I always tell him just one book but we usually ending up ready two or more! After we read books, the light gets turned out and I have to lay in his bed and sing to him. The song list is as follows...Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Jingle Bells, ABC's, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, I'm a Little Teapot, and You Are My Sunshine. Yes, we sing Jingle Bells every night even though the Christmas season was months ago! After I sing these songs, I then have to turn the light back on and scare the monsters away...from behind the door, behind the bed, under the bed, in the corner by his dress, then end of his bed, behind the curtain, and in the closet! I then say my good nights.

Now, if Cory is working, we then have to call so that Cameron can say good night. However, if Cory is at home, Cory must then sing 5 Little Monkeys to Cameron before he gets to say good night!

It has become quite a process but we do manage to get through it pretty quickly...we're masters now!
