They're 4 and 7. My wife went to book club and I had them solo. Did the whole bedtime routine perfectly, no negotiations, no water refills, no getting back up. They were both asleep by 8:45. I genuinely feel like I've accomplished something great here.
Man that's huge with a 4 and 7 year old. The fact you pulled it off with no water refill negotiations is honestly impressive. That's a win.
That's the stuff right there. No negotiations, no extra water runs, just a solid bedtime routine that actually worked. You figured out the formula.
You earned yourself a medal for that one. Getting both down before 9 solo is basically a superpower move. Enjoy your wife's book club night knowing you crushed it.
Getting both kids down before 9pm is legitimately impressive. What's your secret? My 4 and 6 year old seem to have a pact to stay awake as long as possible.
Honestly when you get the bedtime routine down it changes everything about the evening. Did you do anything different than what your wife usually does or just execute her plan perfectly?

This is the kind of win that should be celebrated. You nailed the bedtime routine solo. Bedtime is where so many of us lose it, so this is legit.
