I have the hardest time getting Lucy and Ava to actually go to sleep at night. They share a room at night (not during nap) and they find it so fun to jump on their beds, play with their toys, pull clothes out of their closet, or just make goofy faces at each other. I wouldn't have a problem with any of this, but it often lasts for a few hours after I put them to bed. I have tried everything that I can possibly think of to get them to actually sleep when I put them to bed: taking toys away, time outs, taking away privileges, etc. NOTHING WORKS! Tonight I thought I would out smart them... LOL I finally separated them after I asked them to go to bed several times. I assumed that the twin I took out the room would be very unhappy, then after a few minutes I would put her back in her room and she would then happily go to sleep. Well, the first thing I did wrong was assume that this little plan would actually work. I ended up taking Lucy out of the room (since she is the instigator of all of this) and put her in a very small side room with a gate up (I didn't want her to get scared if I closed the door). And guess what, she LIKES it, and Ava hates it! Ava wants to be with her sister so bad. This was supposed to work out so that Lucy would hate being out of her bed, so that when I put her back in bed she would actually stay there. Think again Mommy!!! One day I will think this is funny, but I surely don't right now!!!
