Hello Everyone!
I am new to this site and if I have posted this topic in the wrong section I apologize.
I am a mom to two girls age 3 1/2 and 2 (17 months apart to be accurate). They have shared a room together since pretty much the beginning.
I am currently struggling with bed time. Mostly it is just with my 3 year old. She constantly comes out of her room for every excuse under the sun. We try not to give in but she constantly tells us that she has to go potty and I am afraid that if I deny her that request then she is going to wet or soil herself and then I would feel awful. I have limited the amount of fluids she gets and stop giving her something to drink after 6:00 p.m. Bedtime for both girls is usually around 8:00 p.m. My youngest daughter wakes up consistently at 6:30 a.m. but she does take a 3 hour nap in the afternoon and so I am not too discouraged by her early wakings (except for on weekends where mommy would love to sleep in sometimes! LOL)
Our routine mostly consists of going potty, brushing teeth, washing hands and face, getting our pj's on and then story time just before prayers and one song of Jesus Loves Me. I am unable to give my girls a bath before bed every night because they both suffer from eczema (my oldest has it the worse) and so we only bathe them twice a week.
Does anyone have any advice on how to make bedtime easier in my home?
