To kill two birds with one stone we have been condensing bath time to once per day. Connor has been more than willing to share his bath with baby Calvin. I love the easy, breezy, time saver this has become. Connor's room is across the hallway from his bathroom and this allows us to leave Connor in- get Cal Pal out and in his pj's- then get Connor out.
Now days the end of bath time does NOT mean bed time. Connor is struggling with naps in the day and going to bed at night. If he takes a nap- HE WILL NOT GO TO BED. We have been in for some long nights around here. After bath time we put on one episode of Caillou for Connor to watch- while he is watching it- I take the opportunity to spend some cuddle time with baby Calvin before he goes to bed.
Our new system really works well IF we have the following two items- 1. Both of us (one kid each) 2. A tired Connor. It has been very rewarding to watch Connor be a big brother. Connor truly loves baby Calvin and is constantly smothering him with loves, hugs, kisses, etc. Lately he has been helping him roll over (with a not so subtle push) and eat his baby foods( with a spoon down the throat). All- in -all, it has been a beautiful experience to be a family.
