Cold plain noodles... mmm, that's one that doesn't work so well.  Now, suitably fried with a few things, that's a different matter.

Youngest daughter's night fears while sleeping at my place have been solved with the addition of a television into the room. I was resistant to the idea because I never had a TV growing up in my room, so I didn't think she needed it.

Well, I did a trial run over the last weekend by letting her go to bed to the show of Spongebob (their favorite) set to the absolute minimum volume. It was pretty much an animated nightlight that they could hear, but not enough to keep them awake. They were out like a light within 5 minutes.

What's even more remarkable is that neither one of them had nightmares that night and called for help. My best guess is that by letting them go to bed with TV, they fell asleep calmly instead of anxiously, and thus enjoyed their rest instead of suffering bad dreams.

Learn something new every day, especially as a parent.

Ambient noise and nightlight for the win!  Glad it worked out well.
