The age-old battle rages on, doesn’t it?! I can remember when my sister and I were young mothers and we were visiting her and her family on our vacation. I was in awe of how her children “just went to bed” when it was bed time! They actually went to bed . . . and stayed there. Then they went to sleep and we never heard a peep out of them! Wow! I was so impressed!
I must admit, I thought they should have had a bed-time story, and a drink of water, and a kiss good night, and then to be tucked in and hugged . . . and given another kiss good night . . . and maybe one last trip to the “potty.” Sound familiar? Needless to say, I learned a lot from that visit to my sister’s house. (more…)
