[quote=Anonymous]Help! We have 2 kids (1 1/2 and 4) who need to start sharing a room at our cabin. Right now the 18 mo is in a pack and play in the closet which isn’t going to work long term. They have the same bedtime and the 1 1/2 isn’t in a crib at home. At home the routine for our little one is read, sing, lay down, rub his belly, and then leave when he has settled (maybe a minute or two). He then usually gets up and turns his light on, sits by the door, maybe whines a tiny bit, and then he falls asleep on the floor. This is fine for us. Our oldest we read a book in bed and then cuddle and say good night. One has a night light but the other doesn’t. One uses white noise and the other tolerates but doesn’t love.

Last night was our first night attempting to put them in the same room. It was an epic disaster and after 90 min I pulled the plug.

I read all the threads here and figured I could do it. Should I have started at home and not our vacation place which isn’t as familiar? Did my toddler need to really understand “this is your bed?” Should I have turned the nightlights off and given my DD a flashlight? Tell me it’s gets easier. [/quote]
