Bedtime

Now that Ella seems to have some sort of fairly predictable bedtime we're trying to get some sort of routine in place. That being said I'm horrible at sticking to routines so we'll see how it goes. Two nights in and so far so good. Except I already forgot to "brush" her teeth tonight. So maybe not so good...

We went and walked around the mall with a friend. It was good to catch up as I haven't seen her in a while. I picked up a new bedtime book.

 

It's pretty cute. Summary of the story: he likes to do stuff but mostly he likes to curl up in a ball...total surprise ending (spoiler alert) He curls up in a ball. 

I have 3 boxes of children's books out in the garage so I'll have to get at them sometime soon. I also need some baskets or a small shelve to put them on in her room. Which also means I need to get the rest of the boxes/sewing machine/printer/Cricut out of her room. This is feeling very much a"if you give a mouse a cookie"situation. If you want to read to your child...

Yesterday I had this brilliant idea to add a "one year ago today" photo to each blog post. Unfortunately I had no picture from exactly a year ago today, but I did have one from a year ago yesterday. I figure that's close enough. 

We shaved his head for the first time. This went great. Not like that time I shaved it the day of our maternity photos....but that's a story for another time!
