We do dinner about 5.30, bath, jarmies, quiet play or cuddles on the couch, toilet and teeth, read a story or 3 and then we have a 'thing' we do every night where we talk about our day. We each say something that made us happy (I use my one to reflect on one thing that made me proud of DD or something that teaches gratitude for the things we have), something that made us sad, cross or scared (again, I tend to use my one to teach or assist with debriefing about a difficult bit of our day) and then something we hope for tomorrow. DD really thrives on the rhythm of our routine and even insists on certain things being said certain ways or done in particular orders. I think she gains a great deal of security from the process and most of the time it seems to naturally wind her own toward drifting off on her own (though these days, if she's had a nap through the day there's always at least half an hour of quiet singing to herself and her teddies first!).
