We have a routine for our boys for bedtime. Dinner, bath, story and then bed. BUT I seem to have chidren that rather than calm them down, bath hypes them up. Since we have moved they have both slept terribly, taking ages to go to sleep - Taine was 9:30 last night although i think he is outgrowing his nap - boohoo.
Anyway, any ideas how to calm them down so they can sleep? right now I can here them wrestling around and possibly pulling the bookcase over. |

We read books or let them watch about 15mins of thomas tank engine... the latter is the fave option, mostly we're exhausted by then 
Also it's a treat for the kids cause as a rule there is no tv during the day here. -------------  |

| the kids have just been up and watched Little Einsteins. I thought they were wrestling but it turned out Taine rolled off the bed and was wedged between that and the drawers, so we had some tv time while I cleaned him up. |
