Top 10 Tips & Tricks to Keep your little one in Bed!

10~ Persistance & Patientence! Just keep putting him/her back to bed.

9~ Put him/her to bed and put the History Channel on. Tell him/her you'll come lay with them when the show is over. Trust me, he/she will be asleep before the show is over. Especially if it is an hour long show.

8~ Bribery goes a long way.

7~ Develop a Bedtime Routine & Stick with it!

6~ Let him/her choose a couple of bed time stories. Explain that when the stories are over he/she must go to sleep.

5~ Tell them to go "hide" under the covers in his/her bed and you will come find him/her. WAIT...Take your time, if he/she is tired enough he/she will be asleep before you find him/her.

4~ Since it's Christmas, tell him/her that Santa won't know where to find him/her if he/she is not in his/her own bed.

3~ For me it's like "Survivor". You have to "Outwit & Outlast".

2~ Make his/her room exciting and inviting. Let him/her participate in the decorating.

1~ Let him/her sleep with you. One day you'll be longing for the days he/she loved to snuggle with you!

My Apologies

I have to apologize for not posting in a few weeks. I have been sick and just started feeling better this week. After trying to play catch up with house work and my business and then having to get some Christmas shopping done, I'm just now getting to my blog. I've had to delete a trillion emails I just didn't have the time to read them all. So let's start over...
Give me your tips for keeping your little ones in bed at night. On Monday I will post the poll for the Top 10 list. Thanks for understanding...
