When the one that was in our bed fell asleep, we'd carry them to their own bed, by which time the other one was usually asleep as well.Norma =^.,.^=https://www.blogger.com/profile/01977487486513813405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221610162381006220.post-17938302112436805192011-08-19T12:09:15.634-05:002011-08-19T12:09:15.634-05:00I think Anon's idea is a good one and was what...I think Anon's idea is a good one and was what I was going to suggest...I wish you all the luck in the world getting the kiddies to bed at a good hour, I have a 3yr old with sleep apnea so I know how it is to have over tired cranky children all day.<br /><br />Blessings KelsieKelsie from Our Country Home and Studio Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13320099117051996061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221610162381006220.post-40092667664454240972011-08-19T09:33:28.774-05:002011-08-19T09:33:28.774-05:00I would put the 2 older ones back in a room togeth...I would put the 2 older ones back in a room together but have seperate bedtimes. I have a 5 yr old girl and a 2 1/2 year old boy. Although they have seperate rooms, they are right across from each other and they can see the other one from thier beds which triggers giggles, talking, getting up from one bed to another - so we put our youngest to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 and our Daughter has an extra 30 mins of quiet time in the living room and heads off to bed after her brother is sleeping. It's an added perk for our Daughter being the oldest to get the few extra minutes and she goes right to bed when it's time and doesn't wake her brother. Just an idea.
