It's bedtime and my son is being grumply. He's only just moved into a toddler bed (from the middle of our bed) a month ago. He usually went to sleep by passing out somewhere around 9:30pm or he'd lay next to me in bed & flip channels on the tv.
I'm trying to get him adjusted to an 8pm bedtime. His big sissy heads to bed around 7 to watch a movie. Usually it's over around 8:30, I sneak in, and shut it & her mini tv off.
The routine now? Herd him into his room, put the gate up, turn on his moon & stars night light, turn on his crib light/sound machine on his bed, turn on his sea horse, give him a hug, hand him the basket we keep on his dresser to keep pacifiers (binkies, binks, etc) in, say good night, and leave.
Usually he's asleep within half an hour with minimal noise, "Mama? Mama nigh nigh? Nigh nigh!"
Fair winds and following seas.
