I put DS down to bed after his usual routine over an hour ago. He was showing all the signs of being tired, but he's been in his cot playing ever since. He's not unhappy, I can just hear him babbling away and throwing his dummies out of his cot and fiddling about. I tried going in and rocking him for a bit, but he seemed to think that was just a big game and kept squealing at me.

Do I just leave him or should I try to get him to sleep- rocking, patting etc. Or should I get him up to play? (NOT a preferred option after a long day!!!)
