Bedtime Blues - Getting Your Kids To Stay In Bed

Bedtime used to be pretty easy in the SMH camp.  J-dilla was the easiest, in fact he would almost leap out of my arms to get into his crib.  Now, He's straight up just leaping out of the crib.  Overnight, he became a trained gymnast and is literally doing athletic maneuvers to get out of his crib once the lights are out. Master M used to be easy too, until he turned 2 years then all heck broke loose and he became convinced that after he was put to bed, me and his Dad were having a party without him.  Now, after we put him to bed, it's not a matter of "if" but when he'll come out of his room.   Usually, we can hear his door opening, but on some nights, the little dude gets on stealth and it takes 10 to 15 minutes before we realize he's sitting in the dark hallway right next to us.   Now with J-dilla climbing out of his crib, we've got two of them running around like it's a playground, and they seriously think it's a game running and hiding from me like I'm trying to tag them or something.  NOT!   So I got curious and took to Facebook to find out how long it takes for other parents to get their kids to stay in bed.  Visit my page and take the poll.
