Jonathan is not one to sleep...ever. He hates it. The most I can hope for is a nap maybe once a week. I have tried it all and it usually ends with me being frustrated and Jonathan in tears. I think I have finally come to terms with it...although when Reagan is napping so regularly and consistently it does make it hard. The other day exhaustion took over and Jonathan fell asleep in the car on a quick trip to the bank and I managed to get him in the house and still asleep. He stayed like this on the couch for almost 3 hours! It was a nice respite from the chaos...although he was up until 11:30 pm that night fighting bedtime, so I guess you pick your battles?
I love you Jonathan...even if you never sleep!

Man, I feel for you. I never had a non-sleeper, but I think I would have gone clean out of my mind if I had. Good luck. You're a trooper. And, yes, you definitely DO pick your battles!! That's the name of the game.
Skyler was and still is a non sleeper! It drove me nuts! Sorry, but this may be a heritary thing. He knows he needs his sleep so he'll go to bed the same time as everyone else, just stay awake and read. Even after a log day of school and 3 hours of swim practice, he's still going strong. I did get a bottle of homopathic melatonin tablets. When he has a rough time going to sleep, he can put one under his tongue. They can help. Have you tried those?
