I like the idea of me putting the girls to bed every night while letting my wife continue to read them stories at least some of the time. I'm not sure if she'll go for it, or if the girls will go for it (my 5-year old has her own ideas about how things should be), but it's worth a try. I really think that would help matters a lot by allowing my wife to get better sleep, so I'll look for an opportunity to work in the suggestion. I also like the idea of spending at least 15 minutes alone together (that sounds funny doesn't it - alone together ) at the end of the day to reconnect. That may be difficult for us since my wife often goes right to bed when I take the girls upstairs, but something similar may be workable.
Better get back to work now. Thanks for the input.
