Tia reports that the other day she set out to make a bed time chart for Mago, of photographs of him at each step of the routine. He had skipped his nap that day so she was hoping to move through things quickly and early. She led him through the routine – going potty, brushing teeth, reading a book, changing into pajamas, singing (he stood at the head of his bed and sang a single note for this step), praying, being tucked into bed – taking several photographs at each step. Going through the motions was acceptable enough to him that he went to bed without a fuss. We usually can’t get him to stay in bed until 8:45 or 9, but he was tucked in at 7:30 and stayed there!
