Every once in a while people ask me, “How long do I need to keep up this 7:00pm bedtime?” And my answer is, “Well, quite a while! Kids need a lot of sleep!” BUT there does come a day where you can enjoy a later bedtime.

This summer is that time for us and I am SO excited that we have crossed the bridge now to a later bedtime!! We actually have been able to stay up and go outside at 8:45 and catch fireflies and then come inside and quickly get ready for bed. It's just such a blissful time. 

I want to tell you this because most of y'all are listening with babies or toddlers or preschoolers and you're wondering, “When will I get to enjoy these summer evenings??” So I'm sharing with you what we do and how we transitioned from a 7pm bedtime to a 9pm bedtime over the years.
