Flushing out 99 lumina

Ok, last saturday i flushed out my 99 after i bought it. But i screwed up and didnt open the bleeder valve.
So this friday am gonna do it again cause my mix is wrong and i want to get it right. So my plans are to do this when the engine is cool, open the bottom drain, with the cap off, then open the bleeder valve let it all drain out fill with water a few times to flush it out then proceed to fill with a 50/50 mix of dex cool. Now what i would like to know is how to properly fill the system with the bleeder valve cause the Haynes book i picked up is awful. What i was think on doing is close the bottom drain and proceed to fill with the bleeder valve open, once it stops filling close the valve and run the engine till it warms up and watch the levels.
Should i be doing something else or different with the bleeder valve?
