Dad’s world with Jonathan deBurca Butler

THE other evening, Fionn and I were doing our wind down to bedtime routine. 

This usually involves a bath, followed by a somewhat giddy session of jumping on the bed as he gets into his jim-jams. It is concluded with a little bit of telly featuring an episode of Shaun the Sheep and/or Peppa Pig.

We then go upstairs read some stories and the head hits the pillow. I’m not sure what bedtime experts would say about the jumping and telly ‘segments’ of this four-part routine but we’ve done it since he was a baby and it seems to fit him well enough.
