sweet kiddies DON'T stay in bed!

I put the kids to bed 15 minutes ago. It was a little early, but mommy was ready. :) Plus, Tre's been super grumpy today and he refuses to nap, so I think he needed it. Anyway, EVERY night, lately, we struggle with bed time. It used to be a cinch! I would even brag to others about how quickly the kiddos fell asleep. Somehow, that has changed. William must come out a trillion times to potty, tell on Tre, say he's thirsty, so a million other things. Here's how tonight excuses went.

1. I need to pee pee (and did).

2. I need to poo poo (and didn't).

3. I have a buger in my nose (and didn't).

4. I need to poo poo (and didn't).

It's only been about 15 minutes!! ARG! Thankfully, Tre's only come out once to say that he's so thirsty he might throw up! HA! Funny, how just a few minutes ago he was feeling just fine running around like a wild man.

5. I need to pee pee. Not poo poo. I need go pee pee.

Anyhow, I started a sticker chart with Tre and one of his behaviors is going to bed without coming out of his room. That seems to have helped tremendously.

6. No words, just underwear and pj shorts he wanted back on.

Wonder what'll be next!
