thats what i do to.. i tell ds that im putting dd down and to play quietly. usually he falls asleep to!
at night i have to do the same but usually he puts himself to bed as it can take an hour and a half to get dd to sleep! i feel terrible that most nights he goes to bed by himself.
I have a 2 year old and a 4 month old. When I am putting DS2 to sleep, I read books to DS1. He sits quietly while I read as he loves it. I also make up stories sometimes.
Also, I have a little activity pack of quiet toys such as pencils & paper; playdough, a mirror (DS1 loves looking at himself LOL!) and some cars.
