Hi,

I have a 21month old who goes to bed by 7pm. we start at around 6:30-6:40 he brushes his teeth, pj's, books, prayer, cuddles and kisses and then its goodnight. He's great and goes down everynight. He went into a big bed a couple of months ago in preparation for the baby I'm about to have (1day past edd at the moment) and has never once gotten out of his bed at night (he gets out in the morn and plays and knocks on his door when he wants out) so we r very lucky.

I think having the routine with both dh and I really helps make bed time an enjoyable thing for him, he now starts saying book book after he's had his teeth brushed and we're taking him to his room. and he sometimes says bye and starts waving for you to get out before the whole routine is even done if he is pooped and just wants to sleep lol
