My wife and I are currently fighting this fight. My step-son is four and has not started talking yet so it is difficult to figure out exactly what is keeping him up. Last night he laid in bed and giggled like a stoner for almost 2 hours. Belly laughing all alone and in the dark. Finally sleeping a few hours, and then coming into our room and just kind of paced around. Last night was the first time I tried the no TV in the morning repercussion for this night time independence (or is it defiance?). I have my fingers crossed that this will have purchased my wife and I a little more sound sleep. love your blog! All the luck with the chatter.

That is hystarical. I love that he was fake snoring. I hope he got a pass for that, because it’s technically following the rules.

Mine sleep in the same room and most nights the same bed. I can hear them whispering, you go to sleep, no you go to sleep first every night. But they are generally done in a few minutes and they both fall asleep.

I tremble for you when you do move them to the toddler beds this weekend (it is this weekend, isn’t it? We should send you coffee to keep up with them).

We finally separated our boys. Now, they tap on the walls to each other at bedtime and make themselves laugh.

Just when you think you are a step ahead….

CLASSIC!!! You’ve got to give them credit where credit is due, those two are super smart! Aren’t you totally dreading the teenage years?! I know I am!

Hugs & Blessings!

That’s pretty funny. Hey, as long as they stay in their room you’ve got half the battle won.

Aww! So cute! Your kids are older than mine and it is great to get a sneak peek at what is yet to come.
