So around 8:00pm (which we're trying to make earlier and earlier each night with some luck), we bring her upstairs and pop her in the tub. As of late, she's had a bath almost every night because we're fighting a diaper rash and I figured sitting in the warm water would make me feel better if the roles were reversed. She sits in the tub like a champ and plays - my sister's BF got her a fun set of tub toys for x-mas and her favourite ones in the set seem to be the octopus and the lobster.
Then we bundle her up, dry her off and let her chill out on the change table for a few minutes before we pop her back in a diaper. This is her sucking away on her fingers - she has to hold one hand in with the other just to make sure it doesn't come out!
I make my way to the kitchen at this point to make up her bottle as daddy gives her a nice massage with what we call 'sleep sauce' - really, it's just Johnson & Johnson Lavender lotion, but it works like magic! And just like mommy, she LOVES having her legs and feet rubbed :) Then come the jammies. If at this point she's still in a good mood (which can deteriorate quickly depending on how tired she is), daddy will read some bedtime stories. Then they both go through the room saying goodnight to all her animals, mobile, lights and room (she willfully waves goodnight to all of these now! SO CUTE!) - and she makes her way downstairs to mommy for her bottle.
Then she's back in my arms, smells pretty, is all warm and cozy and drinks until she falls asleep. Daddy kisses her goodnight on my shoulder and I bring her back upstairs, put her in her sleep sack and rock her for a bit before I put her down for the night.
Such a good little girl :)
