Me, as Tom Hanks from The Green Mile

I wear a few hats, like most moms or parents even.  I'm head chef, nutritionist, chauffer, assistant, planner, personal shopper, really the list could go on and on. But the last couple of nights I've added a new hat, bedtime warden.

I've never hid the fact that my daughter has always slept in my bed. And my son was a very independent sleeper. However I decided (Dear Lord help me) to put Poppa in a toddler bed, and T in a twin bed.  Now Poppa gets up and comes to my bed, at ten til five. This is not conducive to good sleep for the kids, or for me. 

So I decided it was time to implement one of my new years resolutions, the kids sleep in their own beds.

Now bedtime reminds me slightly of The Green Mile. I put the toddlers in their respective beds/rooms and sit. I sit in the hall, where I can see them and they can see me and my no nonsense steely eyed glare, atleast that's the goal.

One awesome night, and one crap night. Maybe by summer we can all sleep through the night in our own beds.
