Let the Kids stay up Past their Bedtime!!
I know in my house no one ever wants to go to bed! Even Mommy and Daddy are night owls. The kids are thirsty and need to go potty. They suddenly are starving and can't find something they want to sleep with. Bedtime with four can be a long process. So we have started a system in our house for bedtime Monday-Thursday. One night for each child to stay up 15 minutes past their bedtime and get to stay up with Mommy and Daddy! To earn this reward you have to go to bed on all other nights on time and when we tuck you in the first time! I didn't want them to use this time for tv time so it's not long enough to watch a show, most of the time it's actually just spent reading! Each week they have the same night. Friday and Saturday we don't really stick to a bedtime and Sunday they all go to bed at the same time so Mommy can get ready for the week ahead.
