So, the boys have decided once again to refuse to take afternoon naps. We go upstairs, I read books to all four kids and then leave to put Asher and Elizabeth down (Elizabeth just reads- no naps). Then, when I come back to the boys they go running and screaming to their beds. How am I supposed to help them sleep when they are like that?
Yesterday, I rocked Jonah so that I would break up the twosome, but then Ethan wanted in and I was sitting there, rocking almost four year old twin boys. For a half an hour. I put Jonah down and he fell asleep and then Ethan slept in my arms. Today started the same. I rocked both, then put them down and then rocked both. Jonah got so mad he pulled my hair. He is one passive aggressive kid! I put him down and he fell asleep right away.
That's it. They are almost four. No rocking to sleep at nap time. No pull ups for Ethan starting Monday. I am drawing the line right there. That's my boundary and I'm sticking to it.
