@mediagirl: that's rough. We've had a lot of routine challenges lately. I think you're doing the right thing, just keep your consistent routine and walk out. And when she follows put her back in. Eventually it will get better. This is definitely a "testing limits" phase for us, too.

Also what I put above is not the bedtime routine, just the last moment of it.

I'm stuck in the camp of having to lay with DS until he falls asleep or he loses his mind. He's 4, and still has his pacis (his "duck duck" - wubanub - and "ti ti" - regular paci).

I wish I could break him of both habits, but he's going through a tough emotional time with the divorce so I'm loathe to force a change on him. That said, it's exhausting and I get nothing done in the evenings because 6 out of 7, I fall asleep in his bed and wake up sore and miserable in the middle of the night.
