Bedtime in two parts.

So another long ass bed time– we are talking upward of two hours. It was an hour, but after another half hour of hearing his bedroom door creak open and then shut again and "Mama, mama, mama. Maaaaaaaama!" I went back up to Charlie's room and checked in on him. He's sitting there in his bed, "Want milk."
Good grief. So now, after another set of snuggles and kisses, tucking and retucking of his two blankets, "storing" his flashlights (yes that's right, flashlights–two tiny flashlights and this glow-light he got from Sonic today) and his cell phone under his pillow, the addition of several more significant stuffed animal friends to his bed, and lots of talking, talking talking…. I think he is finally on his way to sleep. The time: 10:30pm pdt.
This has got to end. Funny, while he's working on getting situated he says, " got some energy, got some energy. Ya croosin for a broosin" Of course, I said that to him a couple of days ago… I told him he was just extra tired, and that now he really needed to rest.. I am going to go think about a plan. Of course tonight I am by myself with beditime. Jas is out of town at a concert, and I was dreading the whole putting two to bed, but Ben went down so easy. Tonight, I guess it was Charlie's turn to be difficult…
Sigh… gotta get a plan.
