ok, so its january 2009, and boy do i have some new year resolutions! i have been working on the kids playroom and thats a huge job...so stay tuned for the reveal pictures i am almost done and i am entering the january procrastination challenge
we have been working on getting our kids to sleep through the night. for so long they are used to waking up and getting into bed with us or at different times sleeping with us. and i feel like we have been sleep deprived for years now! and its time to take our life back! (is that a little dramatic!?) so, we can not function very well, when we are waking up at 2,3, and 4 in the morning! but this is a new year! we are into our first week of consistently returning them to their beds (crib) whenever they get up and we are 5 days in....and so far they still havent all together slept through the night in one night. but we are holding out hope! there is a light at the end of the tunnel....i just know it. if you have any suggestions on this please leave me comments about it on my blog. i will take any and all suggestions! how long will it take brad and nicole to get their kids sleeping through the night in their own beds....countdown is on

Hi Nicole! My friend Becky went through this with her 2 and 4 year old children recently. She did a reward system that gave them a star for every night they slept in their own beds. At the end of so many stars, she bought them a toy or movie or gave them some other reward. Not sure if that will work with your children or not, but it worked like a charm for her. OH, and she bought a "noise machine" for their rooms since the noise from the apartments they live in was apparently waking them up. That's helped us with Hampton too. Just an idea.
