I still quite like the baby-in-the-bed bit but am aware we've sunk ourselves and he is likely going to be coming in unannounced the moment we put him in a real bed and he's no longer restrained in a cot...<BR/><BR/>Michelle - thanks! Yes, I'm convinced it's down to the stars as well truthfully... can't seem to make reason of it otherwise!<BR/><BR/>Rob - thanks there, you! Lucky for some who get to have a quiet life!<BR/><BR/>elena jane - welcome! What were you seaching for I wonder? I get a lot of 'baby sleep' searches...<BR/><BR/>Elsie - Oh wouldn't that be nice? I'm afraid I've rather missed the mummy blogger bandwagon though... never mind. Thanks though!<BR/><BR/>DJ - well... he's got so much fat on his bum that it's creasing at the top of his legs so it looks like he has 4 bum cheeks. The bottom two are very small however but clearly there!!!Sparxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075991922896922279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-17605878405011662532008-06-28T10:46:00.000+01:002008-06-28T10:46:00.000+01:00Oh yeah!

But she is the second child, which means I have learned how to be an evil witch and enjoy it. She still sleeps in the crib (it's big enough to hold her for another year yet), so once we get through the whole bedtime routine, I just kiss her good night and turn out the light on the way out the door. Then I ignore the howls of protest. She will fall asleep eventually, and if the noise bothers anyone, it's my husband, not me. He is always welcome to put Sam down himself, because once I'm done with bedtime, I'm done.<BR/><BR/>Being evil has its advantages ;)Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832774182683343435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-48854597857002173182008-06-22T10:02:00.000+01:002008-06-22T10:02:00.000+01:00Jonny's Mommy - oh no, you are not alone.

Daddy's have worked out that they get Extra Love if they save baby from bedtime and who can resist that?<BR/><BR/>Raz... I know, me too. Do you think there's a market for grown-up maternity nurses... someone who rings you up and says 'Time for your nap. Did you do a poo today? Have you eaten enough roughage? It's bedtime in half an hour, have you had a bath?' Or maybe we should just listen to our Mothers!Sparxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075991922896922279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-91312639351551612232008-06-21T12:29:00.000+01:002008-06-21T12:29:00.000+01:00My (extremely limited) experience of toddlers (mai...My (extremely limited) experience of toddlers (mainly cousins) is that for most parents it's a case of coaxing their child into bed at the nearest possible time to their bedtime, but usually more than an hour later. You do it with humour, though, and for that I must only congratulate you. <BR/><BR/>I wish I was still in a land where I napped properly...

So I’m not the only one who has trouble with a toddler not always wanting to go to sleep and a daddy who “comes to his rescue.” I feel a lot better. And you get a day to sleep in? Do tell how this is possible. I jest. Hubby would let me sleep in if he didn’t work until 1 a.m. Really he would...I think. :-)Lisa @ Boondock Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430994283914399581noreply@blogger.com
