Our bedtime parenting basically goes like this: We tuck the kids into bed, kiss them good night, then leave them up to their own devices & don't really fuss over kids who are not-exactly-going-right-to-sleep. Thus, you will not be surprised that the two four year olds who share a room, rarely go right to sleep. They often have a party in their room from the hours of 8pm - 9:00-ish. When we check on them on our way to bed, we often find a fully completed puzzle on the floor, all their stuffed animals out, every book in their closet out like they have been reading, etc. Then there was this one time, we went to check on them & our hearts stopped. THEY WERE NOT THERE. Not in their beds, not on their bean bag chairs, not on the floor, not in their bathroom. Apparently, they found a very cozy spot right on the floor of their closet, which is a perfectly normal place to sleep. I mean when you get really tired, it is JUST SO HARD TO WALK TO YOUR REAL BED.
Oh man, my heart would stop too! Glad they have so much fun together...I can only imagine how fun it would be as a teen to have a twin. :)
