I’m not sure if the kids are getting better at staying over night somewhere or if I just lucked out! Last week the kids & I took a trip north to Edmonton to visit my Grandmother, dadr and his wife. Originally it was going to be a day trip because the kids just do not sleep at night unless we are at home. But I decided to stay overnight as it would have made for an extremely long day and a very difficult drive home.
We stayed in the same hotel as my dad & his wife – actually just one door down from them. The hotel had a pool so the kids & I got a swim in before supper and they had a good play with their grandpa after supper. It only took me about 45 minutes to get them both settled down and asleep! That includes getting them into pj’s, snack, story and song. I was amazed! And they slept all night! It was awesome!
We stayed at our inlaws about a month ago and my son would not sleep. He was just so upset with not sleeping in his own bed. I think he maybe slept for two hours. So based on that I was really not looking forward to staying over with them by myself. But it worked out really well. I won’t be so hesitant to do it again.
