I used to consider myself so lucky to have two little girls who went to bed so easily, and slept through the night with no issues. Well, not anymore. Those days are long gone. They have given way to what I like to call "The Bedtime Battleground". At least Leah is STILL in her crib so we don't have to worry too much about that one.
Heaven is SUPPOSED to go to bed at 8:30. She used to do this (even in her big girl bed) with no problems. Then the light became an issue as she decided one day out of the blue that she was scared of the dark. So we gave her a nightlight. Then she decided that the nightlight wasn't enough and wanted her dimmer switch on as well. Then it progressed to the light having to be ALL the way on. Then she refused to let us close her door (something that had never been a problem) but she night wanders so we had to put up the baby gate - now she can climb over the baby gate and goes into extreme hysterics if we close her door....so I don't know what to do anymore.
I'm just ready to throw my hands up and say "fine go to bed when and where you want". But obviously I can't do that. I am tired and cranky, and so is she x100. What to do when you feel like you've tried everything?
