Today Is The Day

2008.03.03
Ok Braden time to go to sleep.

This is Braden's face when it's bedtime. Poor baby :(

Ok, yes my husband and I need a spanking! We have yet to get Braden on a night routine. Braden normally stays up until 11pm or sometimes 12 with Dewayne.

I know....I know.....we should have done it long ago but it just seemed like things kept popping up.


So today is the day! (Better late than never, Right)


He napped from 2pm-4pm
He ate around 6:45pm
Katie read him a book about 7
Bath at 7:30pm
We laid him in HIS CRIB at 8pm (Oh did I mention that he has slept with us since he was born)

These are pictures as we are about to lay him down. Kaitlyn wanted to get in on the action. I'm going to bribe her with these photos when she is a teenager.


Wish me luck. And I welcome all suggestions.

KerBear Aw these are so cute!! I love that Kaitlyn got in the crib with him.... they will definitely be great bribe photos! :)
Poor Braden... he'll get used to it soon!... And before you know it he will be a teenager and he'll never get out of bed.... haha

Queen911 Poor Braybray - Something is not right with this picture. I think he needs his MA to rock him to sleep after I've told him a story.
Lesson #1 - He needs a routine!!!! especially if he's coming to visit (lol).
Lesson #2 - Keep to the routine.. EVERYDAY -
Lesson #3 - Refer back to #1.

DancingDolphin :-) Well it's never too late to correct a mistake. Three's a crowd... stand firm, kids adapt! Next week you can post a photo of him sleeping comfortably in his own bed. Cute shots.

focussed oh my........lol....I just have to laugh......but then I think about how heart breaking this must be for you
Im gonna have to totally agree with your mom here......He really does need a routine and one which is consistent....and you guys need to stick to your guns. It wont take long before he works it all out....In the mean tie Im sure he is going to test your patience and your will power but stay strong!!....GOOD LUCK! Let us know how it goes.

picturemom routine routine routine - stay strong, take your vitamins as it is probably going to take a few crying nights! I did what artbug did, few pats on the back one song and out, if still crying come back in 15 pat back and out again, good luck. Now you know go for that routine right away when you have the next one (lol :0)!!!
and by the way, # 1 is a precious picture

Grandpa What is Kaitlyn doing in Braden's BED?

Nayah I wish you luck! :)))) I love your daughters'smile, even when her little brother is crying! :)))

oldbabe Good luck and stick with it. All kids need routine, I believe. (So do some adults). That's nice that Kaitlyn will read him a book before bed. That's a nice routine too. And sweet dreams to Braden!

mowestlan I'm with ya sista (D.D.) it's never too late to fix what we, as parents, have broken. But if it helps you to feel better, I've always told my kids, "If you don't need therapy by the time you're 30, I've not parented you properly." Mission accomplished!
mowestlan · 2008-03-04: 18:58
MHJphotos Wow ... I don't envy you! That face in #2 is priceless.

I just read what Mow wrote ... cracked me up! "If you don't need therapy by the time you're 30 .." awesome.

Good luck my friend, we're here for support if you need it! =)
