A hopeful solution for bedtime woes

Sophie isn't one to fall asleep easily at night.

Until we tried this...

Night cycling.

Since she loves riding her bicycle and we try to spend most evenings as a family, we thought... why not take her to a well-lit (not too forsaken) park or a lighted bike path after dinner? It turned out that all that fun, gentle exercise, fresh(er) air, sight-seeing, and nature observations helped her to fall asleep much faster. She didn't even request for a bedtime story tonight. Milk, prayer, some hugs and kisses, and she was out like a light. 

Of course she lacks a helmet and basic safety gear. We will look into that soon.
