Lookback: 1.5 years after starting bedtime routine

“Transitioning to independent bedtime”

My 2.5-year-old daughter suddenly wanted to go to bed by herself, making me realize cuddles are over.

What I wish I knew
"How hard it would be to adapt to each step of independence."
If I could tell you one thing
"Prepare for milestones you're not ready for and cherish the time you have."
