my kids are only little - 3 and 2 (and 8months but that's a whole other story) but every single night i tuck them in, say goodnight, go back a few mins later to tell them to stop monkeying about, tuck them in again, in out in out. it's not fun, every night i end up in a strop and grumpy with them and i don't like it. they are really good, well behaved kids and sleep really well i just can't believe how long i spend telling them off every night! my last words to them before they fall asleep are usually 'will you please stop messing about and just go to sleep!!!' if i leave them to it they wind up again and end up climbing the walls 2hrs after proper bedtime.
when can we have a nice cuddly bedtime story, tuck them in, say goodnight once then not hear a peep from them till the morning?? please inspire me.
