My Honest Bed Time Routine [Video]

By Beleaf in Fatherhood

Getting the kids to bed is the most important time of the day because we give thanks, wind down and have a little fun. Our bed time routine consists of Brushing teeth, reading a book, praying and the kids stalling for a little bit. What bed time stories would you like to see us bring to life in children’s book format?

all right it is bedtime now i’m home
0:01
alone with the kids theo it was like
0:04
look man i don’t want to be a part of
0:05
your video right now i’m trying to go
0:07
chill read a book in my room so that’s
0:08
where he’s doing anaya though she’s
0:10
putting in extra work
0:12
cleaning up vacuuming uh this is not
0:15
normal but this is something that she
0:16
does like to do and uzi is ready to have
0:19
a bunch of fun now at that time it seems
0:21
like the kids get this super big boost
0:24
of energy
0:28
it’s hard to get them to wind down so
0:30
sometimes i purposely route them up and
0:32
i tell them to go play
0:34
anaya is scaring trying to figure out
0:36
where to hide she ends up hiding behind
0:38
a small little door
0:40
anaya does this cute thing where she
0:41
goes behind the door and closes her eyes
0:43
and covers her head and it’s just the
0:45
cutest thing
0:47
and this guy is looking inside of the
0:50
drawers like for his sister now i don’t
0:53
know
0:56
i don’t know if he actually saw her uzi
0:59
doesn’t have like actual logic on how
1:01
big a human is right and so he is like
1:04
looking for anaya in all the wrong
1:06
places
1:10
you know we had our kids in set so right
1:12
after we had theo we had uriah waited a
1:14
few years had anaya and then back to
1:16

1:19
the kids have pairs it’s like they team
1:22
up and they enjoy each other’s company
1:23
they love each other really well even
1:25
when they’re not doing well together and
1:26
fighting they still get along eventually
