I found a little help for the bedtime routine in the form of Firefly Toothbrushes! LOVE!
Bed time. Love it? Hate it? Probably a little bit of both, right? There’s that moment when your kids are cuddled up in your lap, everyone smells clean, and the house is quieter than it’s been all day. But half hour leading up to that little bit of perfection?
Yeah, that’s no fun.
It starts with tidying up their. Who likes tidying? Especially those little Legos. Grr. Sure, the kids “help” but helping is relative! Then it’s pajama time. That’s a fun one. Do we have the right pair? God forbid Will has to wear his space monkey pj’s. I mean, fo’ real.
After PJ’s it’s time to search for the lovies. Despite my efforts to contain lovies to the bedroom, these things manage to get around. Eventually, Green Bear, Jingle, White blanket and yellow blanket it make it to their respective beds, and the good times continue.
Next up it’s time to brush the teeth. At six, Graham can pretty much do the job well. But Will? At four, this might be where we get into the biggest battle of the day. He will not let you hold the toothbrush or give him any kind of direction. And we all know how capable four year olds are when it comes to doing things on their own.
Brushing teeth got a little bit better when I found strawberry toothpaste – Will was truly offended by the mint flavor. Things have gotten even easier since I discovered the Firefly Star Wars toothbrushes.
Not only do my boys think they are super cool – the also light up and talk to them for the duration of the time they are supposed to be brushing their teeth. Yeah, I can’t tell them what to do, but if Darth Vader demands that they keep brushing, well… they keep brushing. Go figure.
Ahh… now it’s time to pick a book. I snuggle up with my little nuggets and we talk about our day, we ready silly books and I tuck them in. Good Night, Sleep Tight. The night is mine.
