A phrase which I am sure is said to torment.

My kids are never so cooperative
My son used to jump with joy every time it was bedtime. He loves books and knows the quicker he goes to bed, the more books we have time to read before it’s lights out. Nowadays he’s gotten a bit more reluctant it is still pretty cooperative. Usually I have him asleep at 7:30, at the very latest a bit after 8. :nod

(Of course, now that I said this I’ve pribably jinxed it forever.)

I bet mine's a bit easier in that area.
then again he's a lot younger
I put him in bed. Give him a pacifier. Throw his cuddle-cloth in his face.


Done. :cookiehand

Cause I really don't like to post too much about my kids online - but they are 3 and 1
Yeah, I take my liberties with that here. But otherwise, no, I don't do that either.

For some reason I thought they were older than that, not sure why.

You got mad skills - my daughters rarely are asleep before 10pm, at the earliest.

Books, music... recently we have been trying shadow-puppets and glued a load of fluorescent stars onto the ceiling - none of this works.
Getting them to bed isn't difficult, getting them to sleep is...

Isn't the keyword here "girls". :lmao

My friends tell me I need to hope that my second one isn't going to be a girl. Because they tend to be a nightmare.
And most of them have both, even my sister has too. And all of them say it. :lmao

Gotta tire them out....cut naps in half,running around in the yard,etc....
I know you guys kids are young but anything physical and less sleeping during the day works....
I know people think that their kids are cranky if they take no naps...but just remember how us adults are if we dont get enough sleep....cranky xD
So gotta keep them up during the day and wear their lil ass down.

Yeah, when he still had his pacifier he could fall asleep in an instant as well. After a while he didn’t want the pacifier until we were done reading because he knew he’d fall asleep mid-book. He gave his binkies to Santa this Christmas though.

Parental slang....who imagines as a grown man you would use words such as "binkies" until you have kids:Haha

Son stopped taking naps a bit after he turned 2. Of his own accord. He still rests a bit every day when he’s at pre-school but at home it’s go-time all day, with just a bit of down-time with books or tv mid-day.

You'll be alright...just remember he is your prince and the next is a prince/princess to be.
Everything falls into place.

I'm hoping the second one will be as easy as this one.
All the parents I know are insanely jealous of us, for how easy he is. :lmao

So yeah.. probably not.

This only works if they are prone to taking naps during the day...

My eldest also - she even asked my wife to talk to the teachers at her kindergarten, to see if they would allow her to play whilst the other kids are sleeping.

Appreciate the thought - but I doubt that prayers will help...

Maybe a low dose of trazodone in their evening milk?
:hmm
