[quote=Anonymous]We had similar age range, although it was 4 yo and almost 3yo when DC3 was born. DS1 and DS2 shared a room and a bedtime (and still do at age 5 and 7). If you can do a combined bedtime, and just let the 2yo get extra sleep at nap time or in the AM, that may help. Don’t stress about the books - let them each choose one or two and don’t worry if that means that 4yo sometimes has to sit through a book that is below her level. Split up bedtime duty so that any given night one of you has the older two and the other one has the baby. For us, because of breastfeeding, DH was on big kid bedtime duty and I was on baby bedtime duty for most of a year (DC3 is a big napper so she has always gone to bed at the same time as the big kids). Now we mostly alternate nights between the toddler and the big kids and I have gotten plenty of time with the big kids and he has gotten plenty of time with DC3 since. [/quote]
