Ds went to bed about 7:45 and I let him play with a toy in bed till 8pm. He then tried to go to sleep but at half past asked if he could play a bit more as he wasn't sleepy. I ahreed to let him have 10 more minutes He was calm though and stayed in his bed,not like N.Y's eve, I went in at 8:45 and told him to lie down and when I checked again at 9 he was asleep

Its still later than I'd like but feels like progress as it was under control and he was calm and listened

Aah that sounds great....calm and under control! Mine always find it hard to get to sleep early at the end of the hols anyway, too used to later nights, so the fact that yours is asleep happily and without fuss is fab:j
Mine are in bed but eldest is still wide awake - she's happy to stay up til midnight in the hols....:eek: (I was like that as a child/teen - just now I don't have the energy!) So will see when she drops off - actually I'll probably be asleep first;)

Thats great I guess the secret at the moment is taking the stress and tension out of the bedtimes before that becomes ingrained so it sounds like you are breaking that cycle. Us parents need our evenings I think or we would go batty, well I would

Actually after Milly pointing out the holidays, could that be DS's problem as he is not as tired without the stimulation of school through the day so feels frustrated 'forcing' himself to sleep where as he is very tired after school so falls asleep more naturally, if that makes sense?

Yes... I bet by the end of the week he'll be crashing out early - I always am on Fridays;)

It could be partly that, although he's probably had more physical exertion than he gets at school, but I guess mentally he's not as tired. He has been laying in a little bit later than when he's at school too. He's got an inset day tomorrow but still has to be up early to be dropped off at mums when I go to work

Evening all One day back at school and I'm shattered I've got a splitting headache, think its cos I didn't wear my glasses today and I should I have already done tomorrows packed lunches and ds had a bath at mums , so hopefully he'll go straight to sleep tonight and I can have an early night

Aaaah I'm shattered too....after just the one day haha;) I'm sat on sofa but really need to get off my backside and make dinner. And will do packed lunches too....good idea, I hate hate hate doing them before I go to bed so often leave til the morning and thats rubbish too!!

Early nights all round here I think...hopefully my 2 tired...but probably not:eek:

By the way, I've read all the MB stuff through - going to read agin and then get to the gambling board and see what to do next:p

Milly, make sure you do a couple of practice runs once you think you've got the hang of the mb lark and before you join any bookies always remember to check the referrers board or cashback sites too
