Oh so true

I've so been there.

Thankfully, our new bedtime routine is working out fine.  Instead of me snuggling with the kids until they fall asleep, and then falling asleep myself, I stay for two songs from the CD only - for real - and then leave.  The first night we did that involved an hour and a half of crying, but now it seems to have stuck.  I've gotten out of the room by 8:20pm for the past three days, it's a miracle!
