Bedtime Story Trailer Energy: Trying to Make Kids Sleep

Bedtime at our house is an epic saga. So we started narrating it like a fantasy trailer, complete with dramatic pauses. The kids are still awake. The trailer is great.

Notes From the Negotiating Table

Parenting is ninety percent negotiation and ten percent looking for the other shoe. These are field notes from the front line.

  • Bedtime is a suggestion, apparently
  • The quiet room is the dangerous room

Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.

Mark Twain, The Mysterious Stranger

Hang in there. Nap time is coming, eventually, for somebody.
