Kids not sleeping well?

No worries, just follow Dr. Mama’s (“But you’re not a doctor.” “I know, George, but I’m your mama.”) simple 10-step program for proven results.

1. Psych them up – WE’RE GOING TO THE BEACH! WITH NISHA AND CAMILLE!
2. Long car ride
3. Hot walk to beach, filled with whining
4. Hours in hot sun, no one use the shade tent that has broken my spirit
5. “Swimming”/wave jumping/falling in water
6. Go on treacherous adventure in “Mermaid Pools”, minor foot injury, carry them to lifeguard stand, where lifeguard reports that he does have bandaids, but not “waterproof ones”. And why would you, at the beach? WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE NON-WATERPROOF BANDAIDS, MAN?
7. NO NAP
8. Sand castle building/destroying/rebuilding
9. Frozen treats
10. Long car ride

Works every time.
