[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are all so cute. By contrast, all of our rituals are really just weird little ways my 2.5yo twins have managed to lengthen bedtime. So now they always get a cup of water once they get in their crib, and we let them out to run the empty cups to the trash can. The newest one is shining their flashlights on the nightlight before they get in their crib. Not surprisingly, bedtime is starting to take a looooong time...[/quote]

Same. We used to have such an efficient bedtime routine. Now the 3.5 year old stretches it out amazingly. Water, then potty, then water again, then taking forever to decide on a book, then kicking off the blanket and needing it to be replaced, then potty ... we are trying to night train and he knows we won't refuse the potty request (although the other stuff I tell him to do himself). Oh and then there is the request for certain ritual good night words through the audio monitor. That's been going on forever. I usually spend 20 mins upstairs after light out waiting for his shenanigans to end. I use that time to fold laundry, dust, or surf the web on my phone.[/quote]
