A Challenging Month

For the past month, J and I have been battling j at bedtime...we took the side off of her crib in early Sept. and she did AWESOME for a couple of weeks...then all of the sudden, she decided she did not want to stay in her bed...we tried a couple different things, which did not work...then decided to sit in the hallway to keep her in bed...after a while, this got old...she would eventually sleep on the floor in her room and wind up in our room so then we decided that "screw it" let her cry and let her begin to fall asleep on the floor. So now our routine is read stories and make a bed for her on her floor. Of course she can't stay in her room, she has to have her head in the hallway so she can see out the door. Drives me nuts. Oh well...then about 2 in the morning she wakes up and sleeps on the floor in our room. We are doing our best to avoid letting her sleep in our bed...she does from time to time of course...what child doesn't. It's been very frustrating for us because up until this point, she had been such a great sleeper and the bedtime routine went smooth. We are still keeping a routine (I think), but the outcome is different than before....For me, the worst part is missing out on some time with my husband...especially on Saturday night, which is our movie night....guess that's what kids to do us!!!

Good night all!
