OMG, the boy goes to bed by himself!
Cute Child Story ahead, people who do not enjoy CCS please look away.
Ryan puts himself to bed. I repeat, Ryan puts himself to bed. He has been doing this for about a week now. I didn’t write anything before, because sometimes these are flukes. This is becoming a bit of a routine for him now.
When he (and / or we) is ready to go to bed, he will start laying himself down. If he is sitting in his high chair he will lay his head on the tray, or give the sign for milk or sign “sleep”.
We will get his bottle of milk ready (he only drinks milk from a nipple at nap and before bed now a days), change his diaper and into PJs while he drinks his milk.
Then off to the kitchen for tooth brushing. You read right, he brushes his own teeth. His tooth brushing system includes 9 different tooth brushes and his non fluoridated tooth paste. He will lick a bit of tooth paste (very hippy tooth paste stuff, safe safe safe) and then “brush” his teeth using ALL NINE brushes. He also counts how many brushes he has. When he is done brushing he very carefully puts them away and says “By By tooth brushes”.
At this point the family marches into the bedroom, with Ryan in the lead. One parent directs the boy to his bed, he other puts up the baby gate. Tuck in, kisses, and goodnights. Done.
I KNOW! Right now, this month, we are the LUCKIEST PARENTS IN THE WORLD! Note, I said this month and right now. All parents reading this know the choatic nature of children and how quickly things can change.
For now I am very happy about this. I should try to get video of it just to prove to everybody this really does happen.
