To sleep, perchance to dream.
Bedtime around here is always a bit of a challenge. When I spend time with Saul in the evening around bedtime he wants to play and doesn't want to go to sleep; he'd be happy to be up doing things until well past his 8:15 bedtime. As he gets more and more tired he gets more and more wild. Sometimes his tired and my tired collide.
Jonathan doesn't often fall asleep for very long in the living room if we put him down for a rest, I guess there's too much going on with light and noise to have him get really calm. He does like walks around in the night air, but even those don't always work. I think I'm going to start doing more of what I did tonight which was to take him up into the bedroom and stay with him until he falls asleep.
As for me, I get a lot of useful things done after everyone else in the house is asleep, just because it's easier to concentrate and to do tasks that take an hour or two start to finish to get done.
