Please help I have a 5 yr old and a 34 month old and they share a room. The youngest just thinks bed time is a joke and becomes incredibly hyper jumping around and laughing and it ends up bring an awful experience. If I try to be firm with her she gets worse and thinks its hysterical. This is all after a bath and one story each. My husband works nights so I am always doing this on my own. I feel completely useless as I've been trying to sort out bedtimes since they were born. I can never get anything else done in the evenings as by the time they eventually go to sleep I have often had to fall asleep with them too and it's so late I am exhausted.
I've read the books that say bath story and bed but have never been able to get it to work with mine.
Any useful suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

It takes my whole evening to get them to sleep!
