I get DS up, change him, then feed him (unless he's too hungry to wait). Then he plays and/or eats a solids meal/snack. When it's time for bed, my routine is the same whether it's a nap or bedtime, except he gets changed into his PJs at bedtime. I lay him on his changing table, put his sleepsack on, sit in the glider and read some books to him. Then we turn out the light or close the blinds. I lay him in his crib, give him his blankie, and turn on his seahorse and mobile, and leave the room. Sounds easy, right? It took a lot of work to get the point of him putting himself to sleep though.
Re: What's your EASY routine?
Change his diaper, a book, a song, rock for a minute or two and into bed with his taggie blanket.
At bedtime, he takes a bath, jams, then the book/song/rocking.
