NIGHT-NIGHT

Bedtime has become the HARDEST part of the day. Sometimes (read: often) it is painful. K sucks (sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks!) at settling down. Some evenings we spend more than an hour trying to get her to lay down and sleep. During this time, she cries, screams, drinks milk, asks for more food, asks for another stuffed animal, and makes musical requests. It is exhausting.

And on those REALLY special nights, she wakes up around 3am and goes through the same routine for hours on end.

It is freaking exhausting.

D and I are tired, but we've made a pact to work together. And our goal: help K learn to settle down and sleep consistently.

We've seen K respond really well to routine and structure. So we're mixing up our bedtime routine. We're introducing more quiet time before, during, and after her bathie. Part of our new bathtime routine includes this video and song.

K enjoys it, but not as much as D does.
