Nighty night ritual

My baby's sleep ritual is finally making a pattern. At six pm her 'cranky' time starts and she wants to be held close. She will be sleepy and hungry all at the same time.

Between seven and seven thirty I give her a bath. Between seven thirty and eight is eating and medicine time. By eight she is totally tired. She wants to be on my shoulder at any cost. Then I play lullabies and walk up & down the room.

She will fall asleep. I will place her in the crib. She will wake up. I will pick her up again. This will continue a couple of times. She will then want to eat and will fill up her tank.

Finally she will fall asleep completely exhausted.

And I will thank God for yet another glorious day with my baby.
