Good luck! It sounds like you have thought things through really well and made a great plan! I really hope it works for you.

I would do the same kind of thing for Kyson if I was able to. Unfortunately in our house there is too much unpredictability to have a set routine. In the afternoon/evening I have to pickup up the two DSS's from school, organise them doing their homework and then organise dinner for them (which would be faster if both the boys would eat the same dinner, but we tend to have to make something different for the 9yo who refuses to eat a lot of things grrrr). In order to get that done Kyson's routine often goes out the window. I try to put him down for a nap around 4.30-5pm to get dinner done, but if he's unsettled, keeps waking, or refuses to sleep, then I don't have the time to persist with getting him to sleep. Tonight I resorted to making dinner with my cheeky little monkey wide awake in the hug-a-bub!

I'm really looking forward to hearing your results, because if things go really well then I might have to work out a way to do something here as well. I really should try to add a bit more of a night time routine for Kyson. The main thing I do at the moment is playing him two songs that I always played while he was in my belly...
