    Oh just you wait, it gets worse as a toddler.  My son is notorious for not wanting to go to bed.  It was pretty scary one night when he got a later nap--he was up at midnight watching Sesame Street (that was like oh bleep).

    We recently conquered this. Completely by accident. One night a series of events happened and it was perfect. We now repeat it nightly. :)

    We somewhat had this issue, he doesn't fight too bad but does hate going to bed because he just wants to be a part of everything.  We still rock, I spoke to our pedi about it she said it was fine our only issue is him getting up in the middle of the

    We have a routine which one of them pretty much fights routinely.  They switch off nights. LOL

    We never do CIO here and if they want to fight sleep then we just don't make them go to sleep.  I would love it if mine still wanted to be ro
