Bedtime merry-go-round

Having been spoilt for 10 days of only having 1 child to get to bed I'd forgotten how bad bedtime can be with 2...

1. Child 1 upstairs, persuade into PJs, clean teeth, story, bed
2. Go downstairs "mummy can I have a drink" (child 1)
3. Take drink to child 1
4. Child 2 "mummy I'm hungry/thirsty"
5. Make snack for child 2
6. All gone quiet upstairs so start child 2 on bedtime routine...
7. Discover child 1 still awake
8. Both children in PJs read them bedtime story into bed
9. Go downstairs "mummy can I have a drink" (child 2)
10. Take drink to child 2
11. False sense of tranquility as goes quiet for 15-20 minutes
12. Child 2 shouts at child 1 - "shut up I'm trying to sleep"
13. Tell child 2 to move to my room to escape child 1
14. Child 1 starts crying as child 2 has shut my door and he can't get in
15. Child 2 decides to comfort child 1 by letting him join her in my bed
16. False sense of tranquility as goes quiet for 15-20 minutes
17. Child 2 "mummy he won't let me sleep"
18. Evict child 1 from my bed by turning off light so he seeks bedside light in his room
19. It's all gone quiet (after 3 hours!)
