Smart Little Bunnies comics #03 – The Endless Bedtime Mission

About this comic

This comic is for every parent who has tried to put a child to bed “on time” and ended up on a never ending bedtime quest instead. Water, toilet breaks, one more story, one more song somehow, bedtime always stretches longer than expected. But in the end, those sleepy cuddles and shared lullabies are some of the sweetest moments of the day.

Themes: bedtime routine, sleep struggles, toddler bedtime, parenting humor, nighttime routine

Comic transcript

Mum tells her child it’s bedtime now as the kid lies down, looking like they’re finally ready to sleep.

At 9:00 p.m., the child sits up and asks, 'Mum, can I have some water?'

At 10:00 p.m., just as things get quiet again, the child says, 'I need to go to the toilet.'

At 11:00 p.m., the child pleads, 'Can you read me a story?' while Mum opens a book with tired eyes.

Around midnight, the child asks for a lullaby

Then by the end of the song, both Mum and child have finally fallen fast asleep.

Some nights, getting kids to sleep feels like running a marathon in slow motion. Just when you think it’s finally quiet, a tiny voice asks for water, the toilet, a story, or a lullaby sometimes all four. This comic celebrates that exhausting but strangely precious bedtime journey many parents know all too well.
