After every visit to my in laws I feel like Samantha has to re-learn how to go to bed. Good luck and stand your ground with your bedtime rules. It really is worth it for everyone.Kristan Shimpihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04417475185078076257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-21726602692595623002011-08-23T15:42:27.475-04:002011-08-23T15:42:27.475-04:00Zach is a nightmare to get to bed lately.

Part of it is the sun is still out, part of it is all the neighbor kids are older and he knows they aren't going to bed, and part of it is just being a kid. He lays there screaming "Mommy, I need you. Mommy I don't want to go to bed." I've just been letting him scream it out. Although honestly I made the mistake one night of going in and rocking him because it just felt so good to have him rest his head on my shoulder because I know soon he'll be too old for that. But after that night it was back to being a hard line taking mama.Angela and Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196403668528302122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-76248518977197827172011-08-23T09:44:44.604-04:002011-08-23T09:44:44.604-04:00Glad you were able to squeeze in a run during nap ...Glad you were able to squeeze in a run during nap time!<br /><br />No insights here, but hopefully Nick will go back to being a good sleeper for you!Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230997094889375925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-39408606914617691842011-08-23T07:12:48.872-04:002011-08-23T07:12:48.872-04:00Good thinking Watson.

It def helps to appease the guilt fest. Don't worry about the pace. You'll be working extra hard so when you run without it, it will feel super easy. Sleep is important. I think it is fair to expect your parents to follow your bed time routine. I do mine. You and hubby need your together time. I hope it passes quickly.Kazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681949979941583308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-14652835175658640832011-08-23T07:05:27.571-04:002011-08-23T07:05:27.571-04:00Oh, that comment is from The Chapples - I can neve...Oh, that comment is from The Chapples - I can never sign in with my Blogger name on your comments for some reason!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-7671401759367621192011-08-23T07:04:47.008-04:002011-08-23T07:04:47.008-04:00Baker is a good sleeper but I've noticed that ...Baker is a good sleeper but I've noticed that as he's gotten older, he stays up later which means sometimes he just has to play and talk in his bed for a while by himself. Also, I think 2.5 is about the age when fears start kicking in. That's when I noticed him being a little more fearful of thunderstorms, the dark, etc. We have our routine of a book, a song, prayers and lights out. He knows that is the routine and I always leave the room when it is done. Hang in there, sounds like a stage!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-63201797215918660682011-08-23T06:53:40.322-04:002011-08-23T06:53:40.322-04:00SO happened to us with bedtime. ironically it was...SO happened to us with bedtime. ironically it was vacation that got us back on track. i bought into the crying and stayed in her room just to make her go to sleep already. 2 to 2.5 wasthe bad time for us...now we're good again...please don't let that jinx it...Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13062114889126850617noreply@blogger.com
