GoodNites Bedtime Theater Giveaway

By /

Potty training is a long process but rewarding in the end.  As our young ones learn to go potty during the day, accidents can happen at night.  That’s where GoodNites come in handy.  GoodNites are disposable sleep pants for kids who wet the bed.  GoodNites has sponsored a Bedtime Theater for kids and their families. 

What is Bedtime Theater?  It is a series of 20 audio stories that follow the story of a boy named Iggy as he embarks on wild adventures with his Wiggy Bed, building self-confidence along the way.  The stories give families a great opportunity spend time together before bedtime and wind down at the end of the day.  You can download stories for free at www.BedtimeTheater.com. 

Plus, through April 15th, 2010, families are encouraged to visit BedtimeTheater.com to enter the Iggy’s Next Adventure contest by creating and sharing their own adventure for Iggy for a chance to win $2,500!  This ends April 15th, so check it out now!

MY THOUGHTS

I think this is a great way to spend time as a family in the evenings.  I like to read to my boys in the evening before they go to bed.  Iggy’s adventures are cute and enjoyable and look forward to seeing what adventure wins the big contest!

    We always have story time (she gets to choose the book), bath time, and prayer time before our toddler heads off to bed.

    Bathtime, story, prayer, tucked into bed. I guess the only special thing is that my husband does the night time routine for our older 2 and I handle bedtime for the baby.

    For me, I get on my PJs, brush my teeth, go potty :). take my birth control, say my prayers, read, and go to sleep 🙂 For my kiddos it is bathtime, brush teeth, storytime, prayers, bedtime!! All is a days work–LOL!!

    When my kids were younger, we always read book after book until they were sleepy and of course they could not go to sleep until until they got a good night kiss.

    With my son and I, I get him into the shower every evening, this seems to slow him down a bit and then it’s 20 minutes of reading to make him sleepy. Seems to work for us!

    Since I was a little girl the bedtime ritual has been the same, take a bath, get in bed, cuddle up with Mom and dad, read a book. It was that way when I was a kid, I continued the tradition with my own kid.

    I don’t really have any bedtime routines for myself but I do for my daughter. When it’s close to her bedtime it’s a bath/book time for her and then we lay and cuddle for a little before I take her upstairs.

    Our bedtime routine is the same very night – bath, books and bed (and I ALWAYS say “Night Night, Sleep Tight Don’t let the bed-bugs bite, Sweet Dreams, I Love You!” to both boys and they say it back). They get very upset if my husband is putting them to bed and doesn’t say the whole thing word for word LOL.

    Wash and moisturize face and brush teeth
    Check windows and door locks
    Turn off lights
    Kiss honey/hubby goodnight!

    I have a bedtime routine where both boys get their bottle and get a nighttime diaper. I take one son upstairs and read to him while he finishes his bottle. Then he gives me the bottle and rolls over. I take him and put him in the crib and wait until he goes to sleep then I sneak out and do a happy dance.

    I put the girls to bed at 8:00 for school. The youngest still sleeps with us and the oldest sleeps in her bed beside our bed. Well, while I lay with the youngest we talk about the day. We spend about 20 minutes a night just talking about whatever they want to. I love that time and don’t want it to stop. Thank you!!

    If I happen to have my grandchildren that evening, after the obligatory tooth brushing, we read stories. Each child gets to pick a story. If I’m by myself, I read to myself–a bit more adult fare.

    My usual was to make sure they were covered and wish them goodnight, and then say, “don’t let the bed bugs bite.” It usually drew a giggle, but these days I don’t think there is anything funny about it.

    I learned, about a year into going back to work, that my kids needed a “snooze button”. I didn’t need to let them sleep as long as possible and rush them around. I needed to wake them up more than once to help them wake up. They also went to bed at 8:30 and if some psycho coach thought they should be practicing, too bad. We went home. There wasn’t a pennant riding on it.

    I prep my clothes and purse for the next, write any personal notes for my family members so that I can have them ready to go in the morning, set my alarm clock, say my good nights, give gratitude for the day, spend ten minutes envisioning how tomorrow could be great, and then try to empty my brain.. before realizing just how lucky I am to have my family and a comfy bed.

    It’s not a routine as much as a rule– no electronics (tv, computer, etc.) at least a half hour before bedtime. It really helps to just calm down and get ready for sleep and a new day.

    My kids get pajamas on, wash face, brush teeth, my son turns his sleep sounds on, collects his “stuffed friends”, gets his sleep mask, fixes covers (usually resemble the aftermath of a tornado) and we pray. Sometimes if he is stalling he says goodnight and kisses each of the three cats and the dog.

    My wife *usually, unless the kids request me* will read a chapter of the book we’re currently reading (Magic Treehouse Series!). Then its hugs / kisses / eskimo kisses / hand squeezes. Then we spray the room with monster stay-away potion (water, got the idea from an episode of gullah gullah island).

    Then we turn on their Kenny Loggin’s cd and they are asleep within minutes!

    Yea, the routine is I’m routinely wrong. I try reading before I go to bed, but I usually get tired while reading … so I think I’ll just take a quick few minute rest and get back to reading. Unfortunately, I always fall asleep with the light on. I know I should just go to bed, but I always think I can control the situation. Stop me before I mess up again!!

    We have a very specific bedtime routine. First we kiss goodnight and then put our cup in the fridge (and at almost 3 – we do it By Ourself!!! because we are “big” now). Then we brush our teeth and go potty. Then we read a book and tuck the sheets in “just right”. Usually, my daughter then says she has to go potty again….so we have to redo the blankets. Then a kiss from mommy and lights out.

    My bedtime routine is to get my kids in a ‘relaxing’ mode by letting them lie in bed and read or watch cartoons quietly (I know, I’m not supposed to do that!) and then I tuck them in and chat with them for a few minutes about their day and then hugs and kisses! And then they actually go to sleep if I’m lucky LOL 😀
