So I just

I just went and checked on DD she's still blissfully asleep! What a miracle that never happens.

DD used to be a cat napper when she was little only sleeping on me. This proved a hindrance to house work not that I minded that too much ;) So I got tough on her she cried she slept for 1.5hrs for her first nap ever! This was when pickle was 5mths old. Lately she has been doing a 2hr sleep in the middle of the day which is great she kind of just dropped a sleep somewhere and has been sleeping really heavily for 2hrs. Well that was until this week. Mon, not so great she went to sleep after some crying throwing her blankie out of the cot and me ending up picking her up cuddling her taking the laptop to the bedroom and lying in our bed (she's still in our room as we don't have a choice in that matter) telling her to lye down and go to sleep she eventually drifted off. Mon night fast asleep in 10mins of being put down. Tues crying, her dad was home made a comment so I grabbed her and cuddled her on the couch she fell asleep for about half an hour I went to put her in her cot, she woke up with a start and screamed! Her well meaning dad took her from me but didn't do it too gently so she was beside herself wanting me. Ok I'm thinking I'll cuddle you some more your dads going to work so it should be sweet you'll go to sleep easy. No such luck try 5pm after screaming, cuddling, rocking, 2cups of water, 2bottles of milk and me finally giving in and saying here take your dummy asleep for 2.5hrs. I kept her up for an hour and put her down. She didn't complain. Dad was watching boring cricket so I went to our room... DD's still awake! Bugger. Oh maybe she'll eventually go to sleep like she normally does. Nope! I ended up cuddling her to sleep at about 10pm. 11pm she woke up with a start and a cry just as her dad got home and ended up more cuddling, her dad trying to comfort her ie lean on me and her upsetting her so she clung to me, me putting her in her bed and giving up and giving her her dummy again.

Wed was fine as we go to My Gym in the morning and she loves it and it also tires her out! Today as I said we went to Chipmunks she was tired playing rubbing her eyes then 5mins later I'm fine mum! Finally dragged her out and put her to bed when we got home. She's still there now cuddling her blankie. Only problem is its 5pm her bedtime is at 7.30pm she hasn't had dinner, but thats ok, I still need to go shopping! But I forgot to raise the drop side on the cot. Hopefully she doesn't try to climb over it although now I've said it she probably will. I'm waiting for the shout.
