The crow has come home to roost (or whatever that saying is!). In college on Friday & Saturday nights (and sometimes Tuesdays & Thursdays) my room mates & I would sleep from about 8 pm to 9:30 so we could then go out & party till the wee hours. My daughter is now perfecting this art. For the past two nights, she has peacefully & soundly fallen asleep about 8 pm - and then promptly at 9:30, woken up. We try for about an hour to get her back to sleep, when it becomes apparent that she is having no part of it. What she wants is to play & watch her BabyFaith "God Made Me" video. Here is our solution:
If you notice, the couch in the background is prepared for mommy sleep. At this time, Becky could care less about us right now - she is focused on playing & her video. Mommy catches a few minutes shut eye. This activity has lasted from 1 1/2 - 2 hours, then she wants out of the stroller, and sits on the couch and plays with toys for another hour or two before finally giving up the ghost about 2-3 am. Yawn.......
Oh this is tough..... I hope she gets out of this phase quickly before her body gets used to that schedule. wishing for some sleep for you.
