[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 733780, member: 16024"] My older girls were great sleepers and loved bedtime. They needed a lot of sleep, so after bath, snack, and read-alouds, they went right to sleep at eight or nine o’clock, depending on their age. My son was younger but needed less sleep, so after the girls were in bed, I would read with him books that interested him specifically. He loved all science, so we would have tons of books from the library that he would choose and we would read. Or we would talk about math or building and construction, or money and stock markets, or the gold standard and economics, or whatever else he was interested in at the time. He was like a little adult, even when he was young. My youngest never needed much sleep. Even as a baby or toddler. At a year old, if she had a nap, she was up till midnight. If my older kids had friends over, she loved to stay up and hang around them (not always welcomed, I’m sure). I got used to waking up several times per night, as she would toss and turn. I had this book on things you were suppose to do at each week, from the first week old, to promote development. I did the flashlight in the dark room while playing classical music, and hanging different stuff from the ceiling fan for eye tracking, and emphasizing different letter combinations and all this stuff that probably didn’t make a whole lot of difference, but it was fun.
