Almost since the day Maddie was born we have tried to get her into some form of bedtime routine, and I have to say we have had it a lot easier than other mums that I know. Maddie can be put down awake in her cot and has been able to get herself to sleep for over a year, its just that she cant stay asleep. Nathan now reads Maddie a book as part of the routine while she has her milk and a good night cuddle. This particular book is a favourite of Maddie's, and I suspect if she keeps choosing it as a bedtime book, Nathan will soon be able to read it with his eyes closed. Tonight when I walked into the room to get Maddie she shook her head at me and pointed at the book as if to say no Mum its not finished yet. Then to prolong the reading experience she added in some counting which is what they are doing in this photo. Both Nathan and I are hoping for a better night than last night with Maddie, as she ran a temp all night and didn't sleep much at all!
