I guess the threat of me sitting in the doorway of his room reading until he fell asleep was enough to scare Younger Boy into a 9PM bedtime and not leaving his room.

Tonight he was showered and ready and in bed five minute BEFORE his bedtime.

No negotiating, no nothing.  Just in bed.

He has made it over half of the time since we talked about it in therapy last week.  Granted, he was supposed to make it every day, but I'll take half.

Praises for a good night's sleep.
