Yup, sums up my night. My DD is really good at the last one and the book negotiation. Now she has to ‘read’ each story first (she is only two so reading consists of describing everything on the page that she knows the name to) or she chooses the longest books on her shelf (I keep forgetting to ‘lose’ them).

Omg! My 2.5 yr old son has mastered all of the lessons! He even invented an new one ! He goes to his all day working father and tells him that he misses him which first we thought is cute but then it jst turned out to be a way of stalling! As soon as hes out of the crib he doesnt give his father any attention

I had to quit that one… too often found me asleep and the granddaughter channel surfing with the remote.

My, almost, 2 year old loves bedtime books. But she never gets enough books to bed. If she got 5, then she looks for 3 or 4 more. Is like the neverending story, haha.

Great post! my 4 year old has endless excusses to why he cant go to bed… my fav, “mommy i need to tell you something very important” so ill say ok, what is it? then i get “uhhh, uhhhh, ummmm, so, how… do, ummm trains stay on the track?” he’s obviously thinking up his ‘very important question’ as hes asking it!!!

LMAO!!! Love this! My little man is 4 and is doing the whole scared of monsters thing. So I made up a cute monster spray (http://ourlifeinaction.wordpress.com/2013/01/22/diy-monster-spray/) which seems to work durning day light hours. He is now telling me that the monsters are moving out of the way so the spray doesn’t hit them….yet another stalling method. Lord help me. ;-)

Ohhhh, my oldest went through the Richard Scary book phase. Made me want to claw my own eyes out. I got wise with little brother and haven’t read those to him yet, but now they both want “Where’s Waldo”. It’s still entertaining to hear him squeal “I found (insert name here)!”

I generally find humor in most of the crazy-things-toddlers-do blogs, but not when they deal with letting the toddler win the power struggle. I try to be flexible with the kid and do all the fun engaging bedtime routines, but I am completely unwilling to be a slave to random whims. I’m not an anal retentive/OCD mom… We eat at wierd times, sometimes we do bath or not, sometimes we watch TV on a school night. However, bedtime is not a negotiation. I decide when it is, and all stalling does is cut down on the time you get to read, pow pow about your day, pick out an outfit, etc. After a few uncomfortable nights of going to bed fully dressed, with dirty teeth and unbrushed hair, not to mention missing TinkerMini. She learned that when mom says lights out at 8:30, that’s exactly what she means.
