Bedtime is a problem at our house. The way the boys' beds are set up, their dresser is between them and houses their lamp, radio, humidifier and baby monitor. Almost nightly, the boys change the channel on the baby monitor (which makes the monitors in the other rooms beep to let us know they're "off radar"), turn the radio on full blast (occasionally they figure out how to change it from lullabies to the hard rock station), pull the curtains off the rod, pull all of their shoes/socks out of the drawers and turn their lamp on.
Last night, Brent was working and I was fine for the first, second, third, fourth and fifth time I'd gone in to put them back in their beds and tuck them in. The SIXTH time, however, I was OVER IT and opened their door with the intention of spanking. Blake had finally fallen asleep, but I saw Graham's silhouette standing on his bed. As I started walking toward him, he collapsed on the bed and started pretend SNORING. I stood there for a minute in stunned amusement, then had to leave the room for fear of laughing out loud!
How do they learn that?! They're barely 2 years old! It saved that ornery child from a spanking, though, so it worked. :-)

LOL! Funny!, but... poor you! Have you tried removing the distractions from the room? I know you can't remove the light switch but the radio, and whatever it is else they keep turning on/off???
Hi Jen! Toooo Funny! Put Timothy and Daniel in their room for quiet time the other day. Went to check on them and discovered them and everything in their room covered with a thin (and thick) layer of baby powder. An entire bottle of powder "poofed" over the room. Daniel looked like a little old man in a bad play...white skin and hair. Love being a mom!!!! Blessings, Kim
We are currently going through the bedtime woes ourselves...we decided to put the boys in a bedroom together and make the bigger room the "play room"...for 5 nights so far it is us constantly going in and telling them to get back in bed and there have been a few spankin's along the way. Love the cleverness though...that has to make you giggle...
Kim, my boys decided one time that hydrocortosone (sp?) cream would make a fine shampoo outside of the bathtub! At least that came out easy and it wasn't desitin or butt paste! LOL!
