We’ve tried the whole “soft music, nice bath, lavender aromatheraphy, cup of herbal tea” bit with Ava come bedtime, and you all know how well that’s worked.

Now, we’re trying my friend Lori’s technique, which was also suggested by our family doctor: Run them ragged by 8 pm. So, we took the girls to the park on Tuesday night to play for a bit.

Ava slid down the four slides countless times, and she and I literally ran home. I can’t say that she fell asleep any faster, but Bryan and I certainly did.
