It took a few days of our kid crying himself to sleep before he started singing or chatting or happily role - playing himself to sleep - and now, the routine
leading up to bedtime is so much fun (a few books on the potty, brush the teeth, read another book, a final trip to the potty, turn out the
lights, start
twinkle twinkle, ok another trip to the potty if you must but no piggy back this time, restart «TTLS» and he's tucked in for the night).
