Our latest challenge has been getting all three of the girls to sleep simaltaneously. As you can imagine this is difficult with three small children. Being that Mary is a newborn she sleeps most of the day away and now since her days and nights are in order, she's no problem to put down. After talking to Madicyn and explaining to her that it's time to go to sleep she goes in her room and goes to sleep without a problem.
Now Miranda on the other hand is the wild child. She does what she wants to do, when she wants to do it. Taking her to sleep is a huge challenge for me and Brandon.

Miranda (1)
December 2010 |
By 7:30pm I'm putting the girls down and we start the "go to bed" process, but Miranda is our rebel and she will stay up as late as 3am some nights. We've tried a number of different methods-(warm milk, waking her up earlier in the morning, no juice or snacks by 5pm,etc.) to improve her transition from day-to-night, but nothing seems to be working.
I honestly can't remember if this was that difficult with Madicyn when she was Miranda's age, but this is a habit I am determined to break prior to my return to the end of my maternity leave.
