[quote=Anonymous]Oh, it's all such an evolution. At first, I'd wear or nurse sleeping baby while putting dd to bed. Then I'd let an older, more wakeful baby sit in her room while I read a story, put her to bed, and then dealt with him. Now, dd sits with me in his room while I put him in pjs and get him ready for bed, goes to her own room for "lights out" time for a few minutes while I nurse him down and have special time with him. If she's being a real pill about going to her room, I throw her in front of the tv. This happens maybe once every two weeks. Once I'm done with him, I tie up whatever ends I left open with her and then put her to bed.

Most nights, this is pretty easy now. Last night, she wanted to take a bath and our tub is in the basement. When I told her she needed to leave her teddy bear upstairs, which in retrospect was a battle I probably should have left alone, she yelled and cried right outside his room, leading him to wake up and not be able to go back to sleep for an hour. I put her to bed and had to go soothe him. So that sucked and I kind of didn't like her very much last night. :lol: But normally, it's fine and we have found our groove.
