Put them to bed, leave the room. When they come out, return them with no words. Out again? return again. Just rinse and repeat until they fall asleep.<br /><br />It only took 3 or 4 days of that with Jack to get him to knock that stuff off. (And the endless parade of needed *accessories* used to drive me CrAzY.)<br /><br />It also helped Jack to be able to know what time bed was, and to recognize that number on a digital clock, but that is probably still a ways down the road.Sarah and Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618358656098944111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266226909419258314.post-33339217172809950862009-04-23T15:59:00.000-04:002009-04-23T15:59:00.000-04:00Kim, I got nothing for you on bedtime.

It is ridiculous really and I we did things mostly right, I think. :) However S usually goes to bed well, but Daddy almost always lays down beside her for a few minutes. SUCKER!!! OK, I am just joking but he does do this and did w/ the boys at that age too.<br /><br />Sounds like you had fun shopping! There are tons of places here to go. If you're ever down this way, let's go SHOPPING!<br /><br />So happy for Josie and you all that she has celebrated her one-year post-op day!!!

I'm such a "suck it up..get the right attitude" kind of mom...there's not much redirecting with me!! Mark is better at that than I am!!! It is VERY annoying isn't it!? Sadie does it too and UGH....I'm like....SO OVER IT!!!<br /><br />As far as bedtimes go...what we did with Sadie is do the stories....and prayers....etc. The WHOLE time telling her...Sadie...in 10 minutes mommy has to go and take a bath. But I'll be back in here to check on you...and then I'll see you in the morning. We would keep counting down..."in 9 min...in 8 min...etc). She was mentally prepared for us to leave and KNEW we'd be back to check on her after my bath. Of course...I waited until she fell asleep. Then she just expected that routine every night. Not sure if it will help with you...maybe it will!! Let us know!!<br /><br />OH...I LOVE to antique too!! I could spend HOURS in an antique store!!<br /><br />Gotta run. Sadie has ballet! Have a great day!<br />Love ya,<br />BuffiBuffi Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10768977819007369970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266226909419258314.post-6490994875289857092009-04-23T08:51:00.000-04:002009-04-23T08:51:00.000-04:00Oh, I want that typewriter!!!!
Well, Andrew looks ...Oh, I want that typewriter!!!!<br />Well, Andrew looks happy!! What a cutie!<br />And oh, the 2 year olds.... wonderfully exhausting - I'm watching my nephew getting into that stage and I'm so thankful I'm DONE with that. <br />And as far as sleep goes - I think it depends if there are significant fears still there, or if she is just used to getting her way at bedtime and therefore pushing your buttons. I love the supernanny approach to bedtime, but like I said, I don't know if Josie is ready for that. Maybe start with the books she picked out earlier, so she knows she can pick three, and they are waiting for bedtime, and when those books are read, that's it. Set gentle limits at bedtime, and she may not like them at first, but she is such a smart little girl, I bet/hope she'll adjust quickly.<br />Love, BarbMike and Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805951325047699753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266226909419258314.post-29913061465489020872009-04-23T08:48:00.000-04:002009-04-23T08:48:00.000-04:00what a sweet pic of Steffie/Andrew ...

We potty, we get our sippy cup, we pray, read a book, and I put on dora for a little bit ... she usually gets up about 4-10 times and I just put her back in bed w/ no words except I LOVE YOU ... She usually doesn't go to sleep till 11 or 12, but there isn't much crying .. It is like she is doubling checking to make sure I am still here ... <br /><br />You know I am standing in prayer w/ ya sister for our girls ...Gwen Oatsvall https://www.blogger.com/profile/16798625543512689427noreply@blogger.com
