I have no memories of being tucked in. I remember that I would go through the house and kiss everyone there, then go to bed. Since I put myself in bed I used to try to race the light -- I'd flip the switch and run and jump into bed. i didn't want to be too close to the edge in case the dark monster (he lived under the bed) jumped out to get me.quillyhttp://quilldancer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-21611928191851465272010-09-17T14:30:55.636-05:002010-09-17T14:30:55.636-05:00What was bedtime like when you were growing up? 9p...What was bedtime like when you were growing up? 9pm until 16yo<br />your parents strict in enforcing bedtimes? yes<br />Were you a difficult one to get to bed? yes, i was afraid i'd miss something...<br />Did your parents share stories about getting you to sleep when you were a baby? i always slept w/ my big sister<br /><br />When did your parents turn bedtime over to you? 16yo...i could stay up until 11 if i wanted...usually I didn't want to<br /><br />Were there any special rituals/routines a parent did - books, singing a special song, etc.? Nighty kisses, I would hug them and kiss them goodnight<br /><br />Nightlights, music, special doll/blanket or other things? nighlights for a while; don't remember when they stopped<br /><br />Did you have your own bed or did you share with a sibling? shared until she got married when I was 13yo<br /><br />Did you have nighttime fears and bad dreams? Yep, the Jolly Green Giant was always chasing me and I'd hide many places...I never could figure this one out...I loved the JGGiant.<br /><br />How did you handle them? Mother would come in an calm me if she heard me crying...<br /><br />Did you ever walk or talk in your sleep? yep, quite often. I'd take my pillow and go into the bathroom and put the seat down on the toilet...she often found me sitting there saying something, but my Mother never knew what I was saying...she'd walk me back to bed. I never remembered it the next mornings...guess I was physically running from the Giant again, hahahah.<br /><br />Feel free to also share any routines you have done with your kids.Skoots1moMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062108140123899280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-20569086008944653072010-09-17T13:04:45.663-05:002010-09-17T13:04:45.663-05:00I am so sorry I have been missing your memes.

I am still laughing that you thought someone was going to come in and tickle your feet!!!<br /><br />my parents were big on bed times too and so was I.<br /><br />One thing I don't like about summer (yes, there is something) is that I love a comforter on me when I sleep. I love the weight of it, but it is just too hot in the summer for that.sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16558961544260341038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2172707736566212799.post-18881910518269730082010-09-17T07:53:23.804-05:002010-09-17T07:53:23.804-05:00I'd never heard that song before -- how cool t...I'd never heard that song before -- how cool to have your "own" song :) <br /><br />I think the "ice clinking in glasses" is too funny. Also the sheet thing. I have to have a sheet over me too, even in summer. Not sure why though.<br /><br />Mmmmm, a Dr. Pepper sounds really good. It's one of those things we can't get here.
