I have different ways to put off going to bed. Once of the most effective ways is to use delay tactics whenever possible. Like right before bath when Daddy takes my shirt off, I ask him to make it into a hat. Then of course I have to show Mommy. Then if I have a runny nose, I have to get Mommy to wipe my nose. A few seconds here and there really help to delay bedtime. Sneaky, yeah?
