how long does your toddler take to wind down and what do you do...

[Olive]

[Olive]

she didnt, but that was because DH did the story time which went well until it was time to go to sleep and she cried for me we gave up and i went and stoood in the doorway...sigh

Oh no!

This is where we are at also, although I have the added problem of my Ds's sharing a room, and bunks. We are making sure we are doing stories, and this is working (we have gotten slack by #3 ) to get him sleepy, but when he goes to bed he yaps and yaps and annoys DS. I think we will try putting DS in our bed to go to sleep for a while....

If you can figure anything out let me know
Sometimes if I read 10+ books he'll just drop off without the chatter and singing and yelling and thrashing...
DS won't go to sleep till 8:30-9. If he skips his nap he might get to sleep by 8, but he's a nasty, horrid mess for the afternoon.

It always takes time when you're changing things around Olive. It's good story time went well at least and that you're doing without the bedtime feed.

I don't know what we're going to do with DD if he's still doing this down the track becstar
