Adjustment challenges

One thing that is not hard to adjust to is the scenery in this beautiful RV park - Rancho Sonora.  It is well maintained, landscaped, and has all the amenities during the "season" though we are parked here during off season so we are not able to benefit from the clubhouse and laundry, which is a bummer. So far we have been doing our laundry at the house...but laundromats are in our near future.

Perhaps the biggest challenge we are facing so far is bed time.  Our little spitfire who once kept a perfectly scheduled bedtime at 7pm has been up until around 10pm every night we have slept in the trailer.  She is in a new space and still adjusting.  She's excited about a big kid bed (this is her first bed out of the crib).  She has control over a light switch (damn).  Both kids' full size bunks have IKEA bins with clothes and toys along one wall - and access to toys at bedtime is not a good deal for us. She can get in and out of her bunk at will (she never climbed in or out of her crib - she was always put in and taken out).  Add it all up and the sheer joy of all this new freedom = no "happy hour" for parents after kids go to sleep.  This has got to change.

Our bedroom has a door.  This was a definite plus in the floor plan.  Tonight we are trying lights out in the main cabin/bunks and closing our door.  Thankfully brother has his watchful eye on sis and enjoys a good tattle for rule breaking.  We are alerted to nonsense.  We started at 9pm and a half hour later we are no closer to sleep.  Better luck tomorrow....?

Ok, it is after 10pm now and the noises have settled down.  Certainly this is the biggest problem for us so far...  I am hopeful we will be able to figure out a solution in the near future, or the novelty of this new tiny house will wear off and she will revert to her schedule.
