We have a different routine to other people’s book, bath, bed etc. Ours look like this:
Bath
Moneybox fun
Porridge (with Abney and Teal)
Nappy change
Blastoff
Say night night to everything
Tuck in for bed
Moneybox fun is basically emptying and refilling her moneybox, it’s a time of sheer joy when you’re nearly two and like counting A LOT!
Blastoff is where we say goodnight to her toys, Tramp and Monkey and count down from five, then we blast off to the window and look out and say night night to everything, she usually likes to say night night to something topical from her day, once it was an axolotl, other times its naming every member of our family individually and saying a protracted night night, it ends with “night night cars, night trees, night night lights” and as we close them “night night blinds”
A little unconventional but it works, by night night blinds she’s asking for her bed!
That is definitely the face of someone doing something they love

Anything it takes, eh?
I love her expression in this, and how you’ve managed to get the light in her eyes – gorgeous!
Thanks so much for joining in with #Expressions x
Amazing how my sonloves to do this too but not as a ritual before sleeping. He just loves the sound of the coins clinking together me thinks.
This photo is pricelss btw #expressions
A great portrait and I love that she loves counting a great future in banking for her #expressions x
We have to say night night to a whole range of items to!! #SSAmazingAchievements
That’s so lovely, you’ve made me realise that my Dad always used to take me to the window to say goodnight to the stars and moon and that I’ve never done that with Monkey – I should #SSAA
I think this is lovely, a great bedtime routine. Love your money box play, I think I need to get Ethan one of these.
Thanks for linking up with Small Steps Amazing Achievements :0)
