My daughter (3yrs) will sing to herself, talk to her stuff animals, play till she passes out in her bed, My son (21 months) goes to sleep only because i sit in the room with him till he falls asleep anywhere from 5 - 25 mins. If I leave prior to him being asleep he cries and if he cries he ends up throwing up.

my son has always talked to himself too. He now plays with his train a bit. But he did recently go through a phase of crying. It was after our thanksgiving trip to ny where he caught a cold and got pretty sick. What finally worked was changing up his night time routine just slightly. Instead is singing his usually good night song, which seemed to trigger the crying, my husband started singing something else. In fact, he always sings something different now which seems to work better. And he gets to choose something to sleep with which seems to help with the transition too.

We've got a babbler, but as her language has evolved it's become utterly adorable. I'll hear her talking about her friends and elephants hiding in trees and the sounds animals make... or sometimes she'll sing bits of a song. Though sometimes I'd love her to go to sleep sooner, the whole routine is precious!

As long as we time it right, he goes right to sleep. Otherwise, crying!
