[Update] Nearly three weeks on and I'm still right about bed time

Update to https://www.reddit.com/r/Mommit/comments/1o7tr8o/well_well_well_guess_i_was_right_about_bed_time/ TL/DR we were having big problems at bedtime, and I suggested instead of rocking our three year old we just tell her we'll be right back and check on her every few minutes. It worked and felt smug as shit because husband was convinced it wouldn't work.

Knock on wood but she is falling asleep better than ever!!!

In the before times, usually only one of us would read her a book, and while adjusting her sleep habits we also added all three of us reading a book together as a step in the process. I think that part really helps because she's getting undivided attention from both of us at once during calm down time. Then one of us puts her to bed, talks about her day a little, gives her a kiss and says we'll come back to check on her in a few. When we first started, we usually had to go back three times before she fell asleep, now she falls asleep usually before we return the first time. We also used to come back after much shorter windows. (another tip for trying this is we chose family activities which would make her more tired while we were trying to set the new routine.)

So, yeah, hubs has said multiple times that I was right about it, and I can go on feeling really smug.
