My two year old son is regularly woken by rain noise on the Velux
windows in his room. Does anyone know of a way to reduce this noise?

Jack the house up and move it to the Atacama desert, or the dry
valleys of Antarctica. Ear plugs or 30mg of Diazepam might work too.

The answer, cruel as it may sound is to make sure the little blighter
is well fed, watered, winded and with a fresh nappy. Then close the
bedroom door, fit your earplugs and ignore him until *you* decide to
wake up at 7am or whatever. If he's tired he'll sleep, if he wants to
ball his head off you can't hear it and he'll soon learn that
nighttime means sleep regardless of rain on the Velux. It might be a
few weeks or months before he gets the message though





Funny how they normally sleep through natural noises like thunder, but
wake on most anything else!;;;
