Noah's comment killed me. Right there with you wrt sleep, naps, and nighttime routines. I was so annoyed with Jamie last night as I lay there for 65 minutes waiting for him to fall asleep. He just won't close his eyes. 15 minutes after we laid down he was quiet and half asleep, he just stayed that way for another 50 minutes! And then it takes me almost the exact same amount of time to fall asleep and I realize I'm just going to have to suck it up until he's no afraid of the dark/shadows/nightmares/or just generally me (or MD) not being there. Ugh. Of course, on the weekends when he rarely naps, he's out cold in 10 minutes. It's a sleep merry-go-round and these days he's perpetually sleep deprived. Oh wow. Noah’s comment killed me.

Now I'm going to sit on my fingers and not type all the "what finally worked for my 3yo" nonsense that you don't need or want but that I'm somehow compelled to say anyway.
