Jackson's Bedtime Routine

Jackson goes to bed anytime between 6 and 7 pm each night depending on how his naps went that day.  On Wednesdays he gets to stay up a little later because Mommy and Daddy have bible study.  He has a very regular routine that helps him settle down to sleep very quickly.  

30 Minutes until Bed: Bath

  
20 Minutes until Bed: Teeth Brushed (he loves this!)

15 Minutes until Bed: Lotioned Up, Dressed in PJ's and into the Sleep Suit

10 Minutes until Bed: Lights Dimmed, Lullaby Music turned on and it's Story Time

5 Minutes until Bed: Nurses and then he's usually asleep 2 minutes after being placed in his crib!  

Jackson pretty much falls asleep right away if we stick to his routine.  Maybe 5% of the time, he is either too wound up and talks to himself before falling asleep for 15 minutes or he's over tired and screams for 15 minutes before falling asleep.  

After returning from holiday travels, it took Jackson a while to get his sleep patterns back on track.  During our entire trip to California, he woke up every 45 minutes, but we are finally back to sleeping through the night or waking up maybe once.  Mommy and Daddy are very pleased about that!!
