Connor is a creature of habit.  His bedtime routine is definitely a good example of that.  During the book exchange that he and Logan do each night, lately Connor has been bringing back two books from Logan’s room.  He then will find two more books for our bedtime reading each night.  He insists on finding his own books “I pick!”.  During reading, he is quite engaged with books; he will point out the same character on different pages.  Sometimes he even giggles at some funny faces and says “That’s funny!”.  He now asks many questions too, “why?”, “what"?” and “where?”. 

    After our reading and grabbing a couple of his favorite books, I carry him and let him turn off the light for the room.  We then return to the nursing chair to sit and cuddle briefly.  I used to sing several lullaby, but now he only asks for “one song”.  Right afterward, he asks for “night-night”, so I put him in bed.  He puts the two books on the night stand and immediately lays down.  But as soon as I walk out and close the door, I will hear “daddy!”.  Once Stuart walks in, he says a few things to Connor, then Connor will like to have the two books placed under his pillow.  He then will fall asleep without any more complaints.
