- turn of the television
- bathe and feed William and then put him on the floor to exercise (wear himself out)
- Light candles (out of reach of course)
- when he shows signs of being ready to sleep then down he goes.
Outcome: We had to make sure he was okay this morning since he did not want to wake up! 8 am is a good wake-up time if you ask me! Dwayne has one or two good ideas every so often ;)
Dang the boy was like meditating almost probably. Your two year old did exactly what I had planned on doing last night. Minus the excersise of course but all I got was a quick shower and shave at 1030pm then to bed
ReplyDeleteA good warm bath and a snack results in The Man being knocked out.
ReplyDelete"to exercise" I love how 'playing/wearing himself out' is phrased!
ReplyDeleteWe have always had the same bedtime with Jaimen, this way he rarely fights bedtime, or nap time.
Good thinkin Dwayne.
I love the exercise bit. I let Mekhi run around as much as possible when it is close to bed time. Let the kids wear themselves out.
ReplyDeleteAnd you say William isn't running the show!
ReplyDeleteLOL ;)
I love it.
Get it William, Get it.
Make sure to tell Mommy and Daddy to DIM the lights and play soothing music too. Oh and a full body massage! Yeah, that should do the trick too ;)
Anything that gets them to sleep better at night is well worth it.
