We do the same thing other nights just no bath. We usually start around 7pm. Sometimes a little earlier or later depending on whether or not he has napped that day or if he has school the next day.

Lately we give him 5 or so min. with the light on and he reads by himself. I will say that the nights where he has NOT taken a nap that day he falls right to sleep. He still naps some days in school and on those nights he has a really hard time falling asleep on those nights he is a little more needy - he will need a drink, then has to pee, then needs help, then wants his back rubbed and sometimes we end up laying with him for a little while.

We each sing 3 songs to them (dh sings to Audrey and I sing to Emmy and then we switch or vice versa) with the lights off and then we leave. We do our stories downstairs on the couch before coming upstairs, so the light isn't turned on in their bedroom. We just do songs in the dark. Some nights, they sing to each other for 15 minutes or chat and then fall asleep...other nights, it's right to sleep. We never lay down with them just because I think that if we did it once, they both (esp. Emmy) would want it every night. Even when they have been sick, I have brought them downstairs to the guest room to sleep/lay with them, but we have never brought them into our bed to sleep or stayed in their room. I just know with our girls they would want that every night (and it would be hard for me to say no!)

Bath is usually around 7:15 (sometimes earlier or later, depending on mood & length of nap) & we get dressed/etc & read or sing for a few minutes, then put him to sleep. We have the lamp on while getting settled, then it's dark in there. Some nights we hear nothing out of him, & other nights, he's been known to talk to himself for nearly an hour. He's usually asleep around 8pm (or if no nap, more like 7-7:30). Me (Kristin)- 28 DH (Adam)- 28 TTC #1 since 3/05 1 chem. & 1 m/c DS (Truett) Born 2/18/07 (29w) TTC # 2 since 12/08 1 possible chem.

I get done work at 630pm, dinner by 7ish then depending on time we play for a little bit, then bath, a little time in our bed with us relaxing and watching tv, potty, brush teeth, a book and a few songs in her room. We lay her down and she is awake and she goes to sleep on her own. We do not have to lay down with her, we have a recliner in her room that we read to her in. We lay her in bed after reading and sing to her. She just recently told us that she does not want the night light on anymore so She has her noise machine on and that is it.

Then they get to watch 40-30 minutes of Nick Jr. After that it's bed time - go to the potty and we 3 snuggle up on Cole's bed (full size) and read a book or maybe 2, depending how tired they are. Put her in her bed, lights out. Ella will sometimes gab for a little while, Cole I have to give him one last drink of water, rub his back, more hugs and then usually I make it downstairs by 8:30. He'll get tangled up in covers tossing and turning sometimes and I'll have to go up and get him situated but usually it's that easy (knock wood). They get up about 7:30.

We start getting them ready at 6:30, PJs, brush teeth etc. Then they get one or two stories each, we turn on some music for them and there in bed by 7pm. We don't lay down with them, they fall asleep on their own. Cooper takes forEVER to fall asleep, he looks at books, pushes cars around in his bed, etc. Cole passes out in about 2 seconds and Rylan is usually asleep in about 15 minutes.

Since taking her paci away, she passes out the second her head hits the pillow. She has been known to just take herself to bed and you'll find her curled up in bed asleep! Sarah

Read a story to all of them and they all are asleep at the latest by 7h30pm. I have no problem taking them in our bed when they are ill but it is not a habit. And luckily, Charlotte who always needs to go to the toilet during the night, is not waking us up to tell us so anymore..... Caroline Mummy to Sophie, Charlotte & Juliette

Unfortunately, Allison is giving us pure hell about bedtime, too. I nurse her to sleep and that is the only way she will settle for me.... Dawn and Jason Our Sweet Girls Megan and Allison
