New Bedtime Routine

Every night Annabelle and I sit in the rocking chair while she drinks her milk. When she is finished, she hands me the bottle and says "Ba-bye". My cue to put her in the crib and say goodnight.

One night as I turned to leave she said "Book!" So I gave her a book, turned the light on low and left the room. I stood outside and watched. She turned through the pages a few times. Then put the book aside and went to sleep.

Now she asks for a book (or two) every night. She stays up and reads her books and goes to sleep on her terms.
