How to Put The Man to Sleep

First, give him a 5-10 min warning by saying "almost time for night night!". To this he usually responds by saying "ny ny". When 9:00 rolls around you've gotta make sure you change his diaper so he goes out with a clean slate. He will blow kisses to whoever is not putting him to bed then rest his head on the person's shoulder who is. Sometimes if he's really drained he'll do these things at the same time. :0)

In his bedroom. Make sure the fan is on so no outside noise wakes him prematurely. Then you get to sing to him! The only rule is that you have to start with "Hush little baby". From there Lindsey likes to switch it up while I prefer to stick with "Daughters". Don't know why really, but we both like that song so...yep. After you're done singing and swaying he should be pretty settled in and ready to sleep. I always ask for a kiss before putting him in his crib and I, of course, always get one. :o) The "Mmmm" noise he will start about 3 seconds before the kiss itself. And if he's in the kissy mood (not too tired) you'll probably get 3 or 4 kisses in a row. Then you put him down, say "here's Mootina" while pressing her against his side and cover him up. To ensure a smooth getaway, I rub his back for about 30 seconds and whisper "I love you baby, goodnight". And it seems to work. Walk out the door, close it quietly so the cat doesn't get in and you're done! Now you can wish he was still awake and with you. Ha!
