Putting Max Down for a Nap 101

Step One.




-Carry him in your arms up the stairs




Step Two.



-Let him turn the lights off/on at the top of the stairs




Step Three.



-Say goodnight to the picture of Jesus in the hall, and he likes to count His owies now. And give Him a kiss.




Step Four.



-say goodnight to the picture of the Bountiful temple


Step Five.



-say goodnight to the picture of mom and dad







Step Six.

-say goodnight to the pictures of the babies. Name and count them. Baby Fo-ee, Baby Dee-der, Baby Me, Baby Ga. Max counting: ahh, choo, fee, faw.

Step Seven.

-Grab two gees (binkis) out of the binki box







Step Eight.



-Make sure to fill up wawa Pip, or other water bottle he may have grabbed. Today it was wawa Bob (the Builder)

Step Nine.

-Give hugs and kisses (the real kind, not the chocolate variety, though I am sure that kind would be gladly accepted too!!)

Step Ten.

-Close the door behind you.







Sounds complicated and long, but Max is a creature of habit. And a little OCD when it comes to almost everything. But when this routine is followed with patience and love; this is the happy result every single time :)






Ahhh, sound asleep for a nice long afternoon nap!
