I am amazed almost daily by the kids and what they do. They grow up and learn so much so quickly, and routine seems to make a HUGE difference in making them happy!
Since Riley was much younger we have always (every night) read her a bed time story (or two, or three...). She now loves books and now even "reads" to herself once she is in bed.
We have had a CCTV camera in her room for a while to replace the baby monitor, so we are able to see what she does when she goes to bed.
She always wants her "monkey light" which is a night light that Melanie gave her, and since Claudia brought her a wind up torch she likes to have that too.
This clip shows her routine. She reads her book, puts away the torch, turns out the monkey light, throws something off the bed, pushes Melanie out the way and goes to sleep.
She went through a stage of leaving the monkey light on all night, wasting batteries, so I started to ask her every night to switch it off, which she now does every time.
Tonight, after this clip she actually got up and went to the loo and then back to bed...
The flashes etc on the video are from the CCTV and are impossible to prevent... Sorry.
