Jo and Riley both have slept with me since they turned 5 months old and I've never had any trouble getting them to go to bed at night. Usually all I have to do is say it's about night-night time and they start getting their last snack and drink and then Jo herds Riley off to bed by 10 or so. However, for some reason here lately they've been taking looooong afternoon naps and guess what...they think bedtime is playtime! If I put their toys in the basket and turn out the lights they stay with me but if I lay down and watch t.v. for a while they take off running through the house like 2 crazy boys! Actually, it's kind of funny to hear them clicking their toenails across the floor when they stalk and chase each other through the dark! It seems like one of them always has to get up to go pee one last time or get that last drink before morning...I guess they're really not so different than kids
