Big girl bed progress
Posted By pamelamyers on March 13, 2012
I haven’t said anything lately about Sam’s progress in her big girl bed. Well, she has been doing pretty well. She has been going to sleep ok, and sleeping through the night. Our only problem was that in the morning when she wakes up, she refuses to just stay in her room. That was our whole goal. To get her to wake up at her ungodly hour of the morning and just play with her toys instead of waking us up. No go. When Sam wakes up at 5:00 a.m. or whenever, she insists we get up too. She yells, she cries, she complains. Mark or I wind up going to get her and bringing her into our bed for an hour or so until we feel like we can manage to begin the day. I never wanted to get into the habit of letting her sleep in our bed. That is a really bad habit that is hard to break, and I only let her do it once or twice when she was sick. But, and hour or so I think I can handle. And I really don’t mind. I never do go back to sleep, but I would rather lay in my bed in a semi-coma than have to be downstairs. Sam handles it pretty well. She squirms around a lot, but she is pretty quiet and hangs out until about 6:00. We were hoping that when daylight savings time came and we pushed the clocks forward she’d sleep until 6:00 or 6:30 — success! Changing the clocks worked. Our only problem now is that she doesn’t want to go to bed until 8:30 at night….If it’s not one thing it’s another…
