Day 10: Please, Please, Please Go to Sleep!
Day 10.
10 o'clock pm.
This is us. (Pardon the poor picture quality - my house is too dark!).

Yup. Making faces for the camera...because really...why would a 2 year old need to be in bed at 10pm? PJ has been fighting a "normal" sleep schedule for a bit now. I am a little bit at my wit's end! Lately she has been refusing to go to sleep before 10pm. She will then wake up around 3am (yikes!) and play for an hour before going back to sleep until 8am. She is napping in the afternoon...often for over 2 hours. If I try to wake her up during naptime (in the hope that she will fall asleep earlier at night) she has a hard time waking up and will just sit and cry for almost an hour (or she will sit and cry until she falls back to sleep). I don't know how to get her to sleep better. I have been told that waking her up earlier in the morning might help and we have tried that but it didn't work out the way I was hoping - instead she napped in the afternoon for almost 4 hours and was up late again at night. We bring her to bed at about 7:30 but she will play for the next 3ish hours in her room until she falls asleep. She's not difficult...just not well scheduled :). As I write this I notice that there are finally no noises coming from her room. Has she finally decided to fall asleep? Here's hoping! Does anyone have any advice for helping me get my toddler to fall a sleep? It would be so much appreciated!
Ps. Isn't her "funny" face so cute?! So much love for this kiddo and her spunky character!
