How to put a toddler to bed
Take a long walk around the neighborhood
Pulling the toddler in a wagon
Come home
Let the dog out
So the dog and toddler can play together
And tire each other out
Put the dog back in her room
Give the toddler a bath
Until all the bubbles have popped
And most of the water has been splashed out
Dry off the toddler
Let him brush his teeth
Sing while he brushes his teeth so he’ll know when to stop
Wrestle him into his pajamas
Read him three stories –
Any three you like –
As long as one is Top Cat
And the other is Good Night, Moon
Sing until you’re hoarse
Chase the “top cat” out of the room
Kiss the toddler goodnight
Wish the toddler goodnight
And pray he sleeps a good night
Now you’re ready for bed!
