This might not sound like much but after weeks of the 4yo coming back out every 5 minutes asking for water, asking to use the bathroom, asking about random stuff - tonight they both went down smooth and I haven't heard a peep in an hour. I feel like I won the lottery.
Dude, celebrate that. Bedtime is one of the hardest battles and if you cracked the code with a 4yo, you deserve all the credit. Sounds like a solid routine paid off.
This is absolutely something to celebrate. We've had weeks where our youngest was doing the endless requests thing and it's exhausting. You clearly found what works for them.
This absolutely counts as a win! Getting a 4yo to stay in bed is like winning the lottery. How did you manage it? Asking for a friend who has a similar situation happening here.
Bro that's HUGE. Don't let anyone tell you that doesn't matter. Consistent sleep is a game changer for everything else.
I remember those days with my younger one. The constant 'one more thing' requests were exhausting. Proud of you for sticking with it and getting through the whole night without breakdowns.

That's huge! The water/bathroom requests are totally normal at that age but getting them to actually stay in bed is a win. What'd you do differently?
