Bedtime Routine

This week we have started a bedtime routine for Ledger. He gets a bath, dressed in his jammies, fed his night time meal, and a bed time story. I love this picture of Daddy reading a bed time story to Ledger. Yes, he's too little to read... but you can tell from the picture that he is interested in the pictures and he loves to listen to his Dad's voice.

We are trying for a 8:30 p.m. bed time alone in his crib. So far it's going OK. He wakes up when he loses his pacifier and then goes right back to sleep. So far he's doing great. It's hard for Mommy to go to sleep with his empty bassinet next to the bed, though. :)

In other news, I think we've finally got our child care situation sorted out! Grammie Pam's friend Darlene will be taking care of Ledger in our home from August 3rd to November 9th. Starting on November 9th, he'll go to group child care with Connie until the end of the school year. There are a few gaps in care during the early part of the transitional period, but we are going to make it work! We are so THANKFUL to have this weight listed off of our shoulders and we are thrilled that we'll be able to keep our son in the hands of some wonderful, loving people!
