Three and a half year old boys, sleep already,
Okay,
I'm writing this because I've spent the past hour and a half lying down with one of my twin boys trying to get them to sleep so pardon any *exasperation* you may detect. Here's the question, I feel that my wife and I were never on the same page crying it out, etc. But here's where we are now. We'd like to be able to put the kids to sleep without having to lay down with them. We've made all the mistakes, laying down with them until they fall asleep, letting them get up to get a drink of water, use the bathroom, etc etc. So how do we start establishing a routine. Just tell them, "okay, starting tonight there's going to be a routine, bath, teeth, pj's, stories, and then you lay down to sleep?" They share one bed, maybe we'll change that. But unfortunately they share a room and we anticipate them getting into trouble if we shut the door and leave them in there. Any tips on getting them to sleep? The biggest problem is that I cannot fall asleep when they do or nothing would get done around the house. So after they fall asleep, I have to drag my grumpy self out of bed and then get stuff done, this is *very* difficult. Sam |
