Great, 5 eh, ARRRRR. My boys always had seperate rooms until the girls got older and we never had this problem. Girls are so stubborn!

have the bed time ritual, they just don't seem to get it,after they get up anyway. But tonight, going to try the nanny 911 thing, do the story, the teeth and then just keep putting them back without saying anything.

thanks

Girls have minds of their own. They scare me.

I never slept as a child. I sleep now but only on rare occasions. New house? Intelligent little girls? Give them a first aid kit and a flashlight. Tell them to make a map of the new house. Ask them to make a list about what they like and don't like about the house. If u are worried about them not getting enough sleep:
If they can't sleep now b/c of the new house, they will probably have some of that energy left to get them through the next day. Little girls are awsome. And as everyone knows, we only get better as we get older. Good luck. U might need it.....

Their going to need a first aid kit, cause I am going to hit them over the head with a flashlight, HA HA, just joking. Doesn't help my hubby went out of town either, ARRRR and we are going to get a thunderstorm tonight, but in those cases I would rather they sleep in my room, cause I get scared Yeah last night, I threw the towel in and put the 2 year old in the playpen in my room and they both were asleep in five minutes.

I am going to try again tonight.... luck luck luck

Don't start habits that you don't want to continue. Or you may have to use that flashlight. lol

No see that is the habit we are trying to break. My four year old slept in our room till she was two, and our two year old as well. So now we are trying to get them to sleep in a room together and out of our bedroom, which right now they are both in!!!!!! ARRRRRRR

Don't forget to put 9-1-1 on speed dial.....I 4got that part.....

yeah the whole nanny 911 is crap, at least on my girls. I sat in there room with my head down and all they kept saying was "mommy why are you in our room, mommy this mommy that" started jumping up and down. I kept putting them back in but after an hour, forget it.

I am going to try stickers and rewards, or a boot to the head (ha ha just joking)
