We have had a few bad nights lately but most nights no problem. Our wind down time has started to involve 'baby'. DD got her first baby doll for Christmas. When it is time for DD to go to bed, DD and baby sit down together with me in DD's room and we pick 4 stories (sometimes there is a little bit of a misunderstanding on how many stories but nevertheless, there are stories.

Then I say something to DD along the lines of, its getting late now, mummy is so tired, is baby tired (she always nods or says yes) and I say well lets go to bed. Together we wrap baby up and then put her in DD's bed and DD climbs in next to her lying down and pats babies back. I turn some very gentle lullaby music and DD has a projector thing on her ceiling of the moon and some stars and give them both(yes the baby as well) a kiss and we say love you and goodnight. This has worked a treat the last2 nights as DD is all of a sudden loving caring for babies. Tonight I walked out and she was patting her wrapped up babies back and I did not hear a peep all night. She probably tired herself out patting her baby (I know it tires me out when I have to pat her)

Anyway who knows how long it will work for but its a nice wind down and very quiet (for babies sake )
