[quote=Anonymous]My kids are a bit older now, but I often did bedtime alone with the two when they were younger.

The first year with two kids is HARD. I agree to have dinner prepped as much as possible so you're just tossing a few things in a pan or heating something up.

After dinner, both kids in the tub at the same time.  Little one in an infant seat in the tub for as long as she needs it.  I used to put pajamas and the changing pad on the floor of the bathroom so I wasn't chasing a wet naked toddler around the house.

After bath, we'd go into the baby's room and read to her.  The toddler listened and then would go into her room where she looked at books or played on her own while I nursed baby and put her down.  Then, I'd go into the toddler's room, read her another book or two and turn out her lights.

This all worked because the both kids were relatively easy to put down and I had to remind the toddler frequently that she was cutting into her own book time if she delayed the baby's bedtime.[/quote]
