I have a 4 year old and a 10 month old. My partner works shift work so I'm on my own at bedtime at least half the month. I have had help from my parents who hang out with the baby while I put the older one to bed, which has worked great... but when I've done it on my own it's a disaster.

Oldest goes to bed at 8, usually falls asleep in about 30 mins but CANNOT fall asleep unless I or my partner are in the room with him. Putting on audiobooks or music doesn't work, he just leaves his room to find me.

Baby will not fall asleep unless I'm right next to her and wakes up within 20 mins of me leaving every time. She also doesn't like to go down for the night until about 10pm. Due to her Velcro ways, I also can't put her in a jumper or pack n play to entertain herself while I put the older to bed. She will scream. She will also ONLY sleep with me, no one else.

Please tell me how you do it! I have on occasion been able to keep the baby quiet in the room while the older falls asleep but its rare as she's usually wide awake and ready to party.

They're also technically supposed to share a room but between wake ups and bad sleeping habits, baby sleeps with me, older in his room.

Anyone know what was going on at castaway cay on May 6th? (Disney wish)

There was what appears to be a rescue plane and chopper circling the island for quite some time.

We will be arriving in Port Canaveral on the wish on Friday morning with a rather large group. We have a car rented at both budget and Avis, which I know have shuttles, but we have car seats to lug around and a bunch of kids in tow. I am wondering what your tips for the best way to do this are?

Are we able to have a couple of our party get off the boat right away and go get vehicles while the rest disembark at a more leisurely pace? Is it better to pre order an Uber or use the shuttle? Do we all go together or leave some behind at the terminal to go pick them up later?

Hit me with your suggestions!
