Bedtime routines

Lately Mackenzie has been having a hard time going to sleep. She has been going to bed kicking and screaming. This started a day or two after she got rid of her pacifier. After talking with Megan, Kelly and I changed the routine so Mackenzie would find some other way of relaxing and going to sleep. We read and sing to her still, but we gave her time to read on her own. We prop a pillow up and give her two books, then leave. She gets 5-10 minutes of reading time (depending on whether or not we remember to check on her) then we come back in turn off her light and kiss her goodnight. It's worked the last two nights. Let's see what happens tonight.
