But when I really think about it, I realize that I don't mind that she goes to sleep so late and that it's kind of in random places.<br /><br />We don't have any meltdowns, she plays by herself (usually pretty quietly!), and I tell her that mommy is going to go off duty in x number of minutes so I won't be able to refill sippy cups or get her a "gorilla" bar, but I am available to read a book or to cuddle.<br /><br />Also, with her late nights she's not a morning person sooooo, mommy gets to sleep in on Saturday mornings when daddy's got Jake.<br /><br />So a temporary hold on the sleeping thing works for us. And did I mention sleeping in on Saturday mornings?

You will need to take control tho and let her know that you are the boss. It will be hard for a few nights as Mike said but thats one of the hard things of being a parent. Been there - done that- don't like it.

As your brother, I feel I...Kristi, Kristi, Kristi. As your brother, I feel I should let you in on a little secret. Katie is 3 and needs you to set her bedtime. Make it 9:00pm and you'll have time for yourselves at night after things settle. I can only assume that it would be worth it even if it takes an hour of sending her back to bed when she sneaks out or fusses. That only lasts a few days (if that) before she starts to understand. If it's that Katie feels she needs some control, let her choose between two nighties, let her choose between a goodnight book or a goodnight song.<br /><br />Love,<br />Mike "Super Nanny" GonzalezJenny and Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097668085280432073noreply@blogger.com
