The Magic Number

Night 3 of the new bedtime routine and the magic number seems to be 60.

60 minutes for the kids to go to sleep.  Which is pretty much where we started before implementing the new routine.

The only thing that has gotten better is that they don't seem to be playing as much before "settling" down.   I am beginning to realize that Christopher is the problem child.

Tonight was the same as the last 2.  Baths, teeth, PJs, books and tucked in bed by 8:00 pm. 

It's now 8:40 pm and Kendall is laying quietly in bed - she might even be asleep.  Meanwhile, Christopher is still flip flopping in bed, getting up and coming to the door.  In the last 40 minutes, he pooped (yes, again), kicked off his blanket, stole Kendall's Ernie doll and came to the door calling for me.

And, now he's rolling around on the floor beside his bed.  At least he's quiet, right?
