They get out 630 ish, jammies on, play in their room. The little on gets a song and a squeeze while I turn on the sound machine, and he's in bed at 645 ish. Then the big one gets 2 or 3 books on the couch, prayers, sometimes a random request gets thrown in. He gets walked back into their room around 710. Sometimes little bro is still rolling around and sometimes he's knocked out. Plop the big one in bed, maybe rearrange stuffed animals, and PEACE. Now one big factor is that he is still in a crib. Hated the night he spent in a twin about 6 months ago, and said he'll be in his crib til 12 years old ��. I figure, if it ain't broke... <br />Your routine sounds good! I wouldn't criticize it a bit- do what feels good for your fam!

They were in separate rooms but it was so hard to put my little one to bed with my older one running in the room or refusing to go to sleep. We decided to put them in the same room together. It was a game changer for us. My younger sleeps better now that she knows her sister is in there and my older one doesn't run out because she knows her sister is there. We still struggle sometimes when they are overtired, grouchy and the tantrums start, but we just try to be flexible and know that their sleep patterns may change and so the routine will need to as well. <br /><br />Good luck!

Around 7PM we start with bath, brush teeth, jammies, then we read 2 stories, sing 2 songs, and tuck him in. He's usually in bed by about 7:45ish. Sometimes it takes him 15 minutes or so to fall asleep, but he's usually really tired by the time he crawls into bed. I know it sounds really strict but it works for us and he's a great sleeper. The specific limits (2 stories, 2 songs) keep things from getting out of control with his desire to stall everything out. Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562318518850983049noreply@blogger.com
