Different kid, different sleep issue

Many of you have heard of our struggles with Jamie's sleep issues as a two-year old. He started climbing out of his crib at about 20 months and the fight was on. It only ended about a year ago when he finally agreed to the big boy bed. Connor, on the other hand, still sleeps happily in his crib. With Jamie, once we put him in his room to go to sleep we wouldn't go back in there unless it was absolutely, impossibly unavoidable, because if we did and he saw us, it might be hours before we could leave. With Connor on the other hand, we can put him in there, forget something, go back in, tell him good night again and leave with no problem. It was also not until Jamie was almost 4 that we could put a blanket on him at night, whereas Connor happily "nuggles" (as he says) up under a blanket.

Interestingly, though, lately Connor has been taking a very long time to go to sleep. We didn't realize until one night I went in there an hour and half after he'd gone down and was shocked to see him staring up at me. "Go to sleep Connor" I said. "OK," he whispered and rolled over. While Jamie, no longer getting a rest time at school tends to drop off like a log now, it is common to find Connor composedly looking through a book in the dim light well after we've said goodnight.
