Bedtime routine

Out of necessity, we have always done the boys' bath and bedtime routine in our room. The boys' bedroom is simply not large enough to accomodate two cribs, a dresser, and two rocking chairs. Their bath is small, while the master bath is large enough for four people and has a roman tub large enough for two kids.

We've always changed them on our bed, fed them on our bed, played with them on our bed, and read to them in our bed. There are so many memories of the times in our room. Alex first started crawling on our bed, long before he could get around on the floor. Remember the King Tut and King Ramses days?

And what about the bedtime crazies?


Now, to prevent the boys from jumping in their beds, we have given them a place they can jump. Care to guess where it is?

It's the sounds they make while they do it that makes this video so perfect!

Now I can see why all the extra work of twins is totally worth it. That is one of the cutest things I've ever seen.

Someone I know likes to jump on our bed! Of course, that hasn't really dissuaded her from jumping on her own bed...

The video was TOO CUTE! Jumping on Mom and Dad's bed is the best! I always bring the laundry into my room and pour it on my bed. I stand and fold, while the girls jump and giggle. Makes folding laundry SO MUCH more fun!

The cutest thing about that video was that they didn't jump ON each other :) my kids would be totally all over each other if they were jumping on a bed!!!

I was so waiting for one of them to belly flop onto the other. How great that they actually took turns!

I am so impressed that you can trust them to wear pajama bottoms and tops for bed. I still have to put M & W in one piece pj's and put the zipper in the back. If they get to their diapers, it's not pretty!

So cute! Reagan loves to jump on the beds. But this is so adorable!

we do the same thing, always have. our room was their hub initially and it still is at bedtime. i miss the days when we did not have to worry about them bodily flinging themselves off our too high bed. but i do really love our new days...no jumping quite yet but the day will come, i am sure.

I showed the video to my girls. At the end, Jess asked, "Where are my Alex?" I played it again. Jess said "I want see Alex 'gain." Melody said "I want see MELODY!"
