If it were me I...9pm is a very reasonable bed time. If it were me I would wake them both in the morning. Sorry hubby but this is a Team effort mommy needs sleep too so no sleeping in. I Also took away a two year olds nap time and kept her so busy that by time for bed she was exhausted.<br /><br /> With my sister who is now 11, When she was between age 2-5 I would wake her up as early as 5 am. That meant if Sometimes We both had only had 1-3 hours sleep.<br /><br /> I would get her up at 5 am make her do 30 minutes of stretches shower, breakfast, brush teeth, and make sure who ever is with her at this point better be full of energy and keep her until i get home at 5 No Day Naps!

I would rather stick to my schedule and not have to fight about it. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
