So here is the story, no matter what I do...Nathan takes AN HOUR or more to go to bed at night!! He won't stay in his room by himself but I am at my wits end sitting in there with him! I have tried shortening naps, no naps, later bedtime, earlier bedtime (a couple of days back to back to have a semblence of a schedule) We have the same routine everynight! Bath, story, bed but he takes forever to sleep! Naps are just as bad a majority of the time! I limit his tv/movie watching to one when he wakes up in the morning but thats it! It doesn't matter how much time he spends outside running or not! HELP!!! PLEASE!!! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!
How can you resist that? :)

Allison likes drinking milk in her sippy cup in bed and that's how she falls asleep. Hopefully it's just a phase. Good luck!
have you tried a night light, or a table lamp?
Lauralynn will not go to sleep in the dark, she is terrified!
We have a routine that doesn't change even when on vacation. About a 1/2 hour before bedtime Lucia gets to watch some of her show while drinking her milk in a sippy cup. Then I give her a bath, brush teeth, and get her all comfy for bed. We then sit, read, pray, and talk for about 5 mins or less. I tell her good night and that's that!
It sounds like a lot, but it's been nice bonding time with her. the whole routine shouldn't take more than 30-45 mins.
Good luck!!
Thank you all for your wonderful helps!! I have tried to be more conscience about Nathans routine and it seems to be working!! Thanks!!!
