An American view of life in Scotland...

My journey through life, doing things I never dreamed off! I am a wife, and a mother living life in a foreign country. This is my story on how I am dealing (or not) with a strange old world that is new to me. I hope you enjoy reading about my life, and not comment too harshly if you dont!

a collage- Bedtime routine

Tonight while putting my son to bed, I decided to photograph for a little family history.  Every evening he has a routine. 1. Potty 2. Wash Hands 3. Brush Teeth 4. Tuck in 5. Quiet time for reading/playing 6. Eventually sleep.

Before we go, we turn on the stereo and switch to USB. We have a memory stick filled with Audio Books.  (Winnie the Pooh, Goldilocks, Paddington, Gruffalo, Peter Pan--to name a few.) Then turn on the night light, give some water (aka 'juice') and head out.   After about twenty minutes or so, he usually falls asleep.


The pajama pants he is wearing that you can see in the photo on the left are from our first visit to the United States.  The airline lost our luggage, and my friends Lisa and Greg gave me some of their kid's clothes. I look at him in them now and I can recall him at around age 10 months-- with the pajama bottoms rolled up three or four times.  Which would be upto the top of his knees about now.  In four months time he will be 4 years old.  Hard to believe.


We had a quick game of peek-a-boo as it never gets old! 


My view as I head out.  I will try and capture a photo with my phone tonight when I go up... It would be nice to have one of him sleeping!  On that note... time for me to make the rounds before I head off to make Zzz's!
