Our Night Routine With 2 Kids

We just made it home from the longest day of travel, quite literally ever. There's this place that has drive-thru lobster rolls. This could be a good or a bad thing. There's no ghost, Dory, girl. Our ghost is following us. Why am I kind of freaked out? Dory, there's no ghost following us. I'm too hungry to care. There's no ghost in our house, Dory. Our house is safe. So we thought it'd be fun if we filmed a little nighttime routine. We showed like our nighttime routine the last time with Story as a newborn. It's a lot different with two kids. It's very different. So we want to show a very realistic nighttime routine. Also, it's kind of monumental this night because we're making a big change. Story's going from a crib to the big girl bed forever. Crib is gone. It's the move now. Why does that make me want to cry? Story already ate in the car. She's starving. Hey. She's so happy after eating that quesadilla. She's just a girl. That's all. What did daddy say? Did he say swimming? He said what? He said yes? Do you want to do a happy dance? Happy dance, happy dance, happy dance. We get to go swimming in our pool, in Story's pool, in Story's pool. And pose. And happy dance again. Ready? Shake your booty. No shaking booties. I have two very, very excited girls to be home. And of course, first thing Story wants to do when she gets here is get in the pool. She has been loving swimming. Swimming lessons have been going so good. She's pretty much, she's like, I would say 90% swimming. Yeah, look at her. She's back there banging at the door. Story, I just want to eat. Go get your swim costume on. Okay. Thank you. Champions aren't made on game day. They're made during training. Muddy cleats, spilled snacks, grass trails through the kitchen. While we hydrate and head back out for round two, Sorrows 20 is already on it. The newest flagship Roborock, ultra thin and adaptable. It glides under furniture, over thresholds and around clutter with powerful suction and smart mapping. It somehow avoids everything that we leave on the floor from toys to shoes to blankets while we make the mess. It cleans up Sorrows 20 like a champion. Check more details in the description below. I love how Story just decides, I don't need my floaty, throws it. And then she's like, wait, come, come jump with daddy. No floaty. Come on. One, two, three. Yeah. Reddy's over there talking. You're a little fish. Hey, go under, go under. We're kind of at a scary point with Story right now because she thinks she does stuff like that. Where she's like so close to fully swimming, but still a little scary. That's also a problem. She thinks she can do it. So she tells me to go away. Okay. I'm really far. Get a breath. Come on, keep going. Oh, you grabbed a toy on the way. You grabbed a toy on the way over. I'm done with the pool. Renny's super tired. So we're going to start the bedtime routine, go in, do bath time, get everything ready so this little girl could go to bed because we had a long travel day today. She's been such a trooper, but she's loved being outside with us. It's so nice to be out in this beautiful weather right now in Arizona. This is why I live here. I love it so much. This is kind of like the main reason too, I wanted to document tonight because it marks an era. This crib is going out of here. It's going into Renny's room. And forever story will be in a normal bed. I just can't believe that it's like, where did time go? Almost three years old. It feels like just yesterday I was setting up this crib for story, like truly feels like that. Also fun fact, story was a climber out of the crib at an early age. So we had to put this net in there pretty much protect her. Cause she would just climb over this thing and launch out. I'm like, she didn't care at all. Plus when we traveled, we'd bring this and it was really nice for like mosquitoes and bugs. So she just always had it, but we're done with that. On Thursday, he ate through four strawberries, but he was still hungry. Now he wasn't hungry anymore. He wasn't a little caterpillar anymore. He was a big caterpillar. Story and Renny and their sister adventures. I made this book for them. Look how cute this is. It's story and Renny and their sister adventures. By the twinkly tree with lights so bright, story rocked her wooden horse each night. I wish for a sister, she'd softly say, to share my big adventures every day. Out in the yard with red boots on, story marched like a captain from dusk to dawn, in the crib they cuddled, snug as can be. Story's sleepy. Look how sleepy story is. She's so tired. All right. Good night, story. Good night, baby girl. Kids are finally in bed. It's 8 30. We got all the kids to bed. I want to talk about this for a second because everybody said they're like, when you go from one to two, it's going to be so hard. And I just want to share my perspective as a mom that now has two kids. I feel like it was way harder to go from zero to one because we didn't know what the heck we were doing. I just feel like now that we know what we're doing, like it's been so much easier to navigate everything with Renny and to get in a good routine for her. I feel like it's actually not as bad as everybody says. Everybody tried to freak me out about it, but it's actually been the best thing ever. So I wanted to show like more of like the realistic night in our life. One thing that me and Dallin always do is Dallin will make the bottles in the middle of the night and then I'll feed Renny. That's kind of like the way we do things. She'll normally get up one time in the night, if we're lucky. Sometimes it's two times, but most of the time it's one time. So we'll show that whole process and what that looks like. But yeah, right now is a little bit of free time before we go to bed. Something about me is I'm always going to have a bedtime snack and it's never going to be a healthy bedtime snack. So I'm eating my favorite cotton candy ice cream and I'm going to turn on a show. And dig in. I was at an event the other day and they were passing out like desserts and I feel like everyone was passing up on the dessert and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. These Betty Crocker sprinkles are so good. I can't eat ice cream without them. It's just not the same. Dallin is going right now to go pick up Banks because he stays with a family member while we're gone. I'm going to watch a show, eat my ice cream and wait for my little Banks boy to get back. All right. It's 1230 at night. First bottle. I think Bella already told you guys this, but it's my job to make the bottles. Bella does the feedings. I don't know why it is that way. It's just kind of worked out for us. Also big shout out to Bobby formula. That's the formula we use for story and Renny. I'm so exhausted. I'm so tired. I actually fell asleep on the couch watching a race. All right, Renny, I'm coming.
