When Shep was tiny I had the "bedtime routine" all the books said you should: bath, book, rock, sing, lay down, pray he didn't cry, if he did, start over, rinse repeat. Took like 30 minutes at least.
The first time I saw Walker put him to bed, he went upstairs. Then about 30 SECONDS later he came back downstairs.
I was like, what??? Did you rock him? Did you do The Routine?
Walker said "um, I laid him down in the crib, and I, like, walked out..? That's what I always do - ?"
"You didn't rock him??"
"I never rock him."
"He didn't cry??"
"He never cries."
That's when I realized I was being played - by my 4 month old.
