They have been increasingly unsettled at bedtime
starting to say they need a brighter lamp, cant bear the door shut, wont go upstairs on their own etc
they are getting more and more tired as they are ending up not falling asleep as early as they need
I just decided tonight that maybe they just need a little extra comfort to relax and fall asleep
I had no idea what I was going to do when I started. I just read them some of the book we are on and then said
I'll give you both a snuggle for a bit so you can settle down
they chatted to me, as their cuddly toys, for a couple of mins and them shushed down, gecko was asleep in less than ten mins
then I climbed in with dd2 and she was asleep in about ten minutes
then I fell backwards off her bed trying to get up (bottom bunk, got my foot caught in the bottom of the ladder)
and felt all calm and happy that they were asleep by 9pm and would get a good nights sleep
