You know you're a mother when . . . Part 2

...You jump out of the shower with conditioner in your hair because your child is screaming.

Yes, that indeed happened to me today. I was in the shower while Greta happily played on the floor. I wasn't facing her so I can't say what she did but all of a sudden I heard clunk which is not normally a good sound. I turn around to see what's going on and sure enough Greta was sprawled on the floor. She started to cry and I waited a moment to see if it was just an oops cry or a I really hurt myself cry. It was unfortunately the latter so I jumped out, quickly slipped on my bathrobe to comfort my very unhappy girl. She got soaked and her hair got conditioned a bit but I must admit I really enjoyed how snuggly she was. She cuddled with me for a good 10 minutes and then I finished my shower.

Desperate, need suggestions

We've been trying for a while to get a good bedtime routine in place for Greta. We've tried various permutations and thus far haven't found one that we stick to. We tend to fall back into the same old thing (which is nursing her to sleep when she gets tired). Anyway, I'm wondering:

1. Do you have a bedtime routine (for your child)?
2. If so, what is it?
3. How long does it take?
4. What time do you start the routine?
5. What is your child's bedtime?
6. Do you have a nap routine?

TIA!
