So on Sunday night, we decided to let Caitlin stay up a bit later than usual.... BAD MISTAKE!! Her sleep and nap routine had been going so well, and now they're all screwed up. One night of fun for her (getting all worked up and going to bed late) = sleep deprivation for mommy and daddy.
We're currently on day 5 of her not sleeping through the night. Never again! Her 8:00pm bedtime is her bedtime - no if's, and's or but's... no matter how much mommy and daddy want to stay out :(
It's not fair to her because if she doesn't get the rest she needs, nor is it nice for mommy and daddy to struggle for what feels like forever to get her back on track.
It's weird because she knows how to self-settle, but she'll get up at 3:00am and want to be held for an hour and a half before we can put her back down. She'll be totally asleep in our arms, but as soon as you put her in her crib, her eyes shoot open and she'll start to cry again. And there's no sense in letting her cry it out, because she only gets more worked up.
I only hope she gets out of this bad routine soon...
