Night Time Routine

You know how you wish you had a laundry fairy, cleaning fairy, or a cooking fairy? Well I want those too, but I also want a night time fairy.  Let me explain what that is.....one that tells my kids it is shower/bath time, to brush their hair, put laundry in basket,  brush their teeth, pick out clothes. Then when all that is done, I'll will tuck them in. 

I think they hit a reset button in the mornings and they forget what our routine is.  Guess what kids? We take a shower every single night and have since you were born! I didn't just make it up tonight. 

Don't even get me started on brush your teeth routine!  I have a 2 year old son, that would brush his 10 times a day!  You know what...kids lie, yes, it true!  They will lie that they did even when their brush is bone dry! Out of bed you go to brush your teeth for real child!

Laundry is a night time routine for us.  I usually fold it all on my bed and each person puts their own away.  When I say "put your laundry away," Kaydee suddenly becomes so exhausted she can't even walk. So to avoid a meltdown, because that is what will happen, I put her laundry away. Then I tuck her in......you guessed it, she isn't tired and can't go to sleep.  Ugh! 

I know many of you can relate. I know many of you will tell me I'll miss this. Time flies,  I know it. But for goodness sakes, I dislike night time routine.
