The disappearance of bedtime

I realized something:

Peanut #2 has never had a proper bedtime with stories, singing, or any ritual at all really.  Why?

Because Peanut #1's bedtime is a combination of track meet, scavenger hunt, and to hand combat, talk therapy and church service, meaning that getting Peanut #2 to bed is something to be done when time allows, sometimes in 10 or 15 second intervals.

I"m going to try a new thing:  Get Peanut #1 into her peejays, and then send her upstairs to read.  Then I will take the time with Peanut #2 to read her a story and sing her a song, then I will lay her down, and resume with Peanut #1.  Wish me luck!
