Early nights, late nights

Well, we have finally done it. Our three little ones are sharing a room. So far it is going really well. For the first couple of weeks Addie was not into the idea at all. We had to put her down in our room and then carry her into the kids room once she was fast asleep, but the last few days, we have read them all stories, put the babies down in their room, read a bit more to Toby and then its lights out for him too.

Most nights Toby is the one that throws a monkey wrench into our plans. He is either overtired and so gets so revved up he can't fall asleep, or he takes a nap during the day and then he is not tired enough to fall asleep. Either way, he wants to involve us in his sleeplessness. Argh. If any parents out there have any tips about getting a 3-4 year old asleep, feel free to send them to us. We have tried starting early with quiet time, a warm bath, books, stories, milk, positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement...we are out of tricks! Help!
