Husband and I have implemented a new bedtime routine that involves setting a timer. In the space of time before the timer goes off, the kids have to brush teeth, get PJ's on and read stories.
The stories are always the last part of the routine and once the timer goes off. poof. that's it. The story time ends, regardless of whether we're in the middle of a book.
One of my pet peeves throughout the day is getting Nubbin to complete a task in a timely fashion. Yes, he's the kid that will get halfway out of the car and just stand there to stare at some car passing by. My reaction, while not great, definitely still gets his attention...'We're WASTING time. Let's go!' I'll say.
Well, tonight Nubbin was taking his time. Fafa, who is well aware of the new routine, looks at Nubbin and very firmly yells, 'we wasting TIME!!' While the inflection was on the wrong word, the little one gets it.
