All along I've been reading these books that say "Establish a bedtime ritual early on!!!". Mine has consisted of singing a song then throwing her into bed before she can scream too loudly. Usually it doesn't work great but she does finally go down. :) After 2 weeks of unusual bedtime protest I think we've had a breakthrough. First off, Madison just discovered that she likes books!!! Yea!! We start out by taking a bath or walking the dog (both are optional and depend on what we've done during the day), next is a few minutes of Curious George while I get stuff ready, then we brush our teeth, read books, say our prayers, snuggle while singing a couple songs, then kisses and bed. Voila! More often then not, there have been no tears this week :) Not only that but bedtime has been 8pm all week (not the usual 9 or 10 or 11.....). I love my Maddy Moo. You should see how big she is now! I'll try and post some pictures soon.
