As of late, Tay has been having a rough time with going to sleep. Or maybe a better way to say it is that we have been having a rough time getting Tay to go to sleep. For a girl who's never given me problems about going to sleep (except that one time she decided to be a tiger), it's quite the frustrating battle. From what I read, it's that this new toddlerhood is just making her so excited about everything going on with life that she doesn't want to miss out. I'm okay with that, so we had been letting her stay up a little later every night. This is not the path I want to walk down, but I was just getting tired of the battles. Tears every night with wimpers of "no seep, no seep" is just not something I want to face...::sigh::
Anyhow, I think that the sleep that she's missing out on because she's going to bed later is starting to take its toll on her. Last night, Jeff and I woke up to three bouts of just sitting up and screaming/crying and nothing would console her until I woke her up and rocked her back to sleep. I think that's the tale-tell sign of a night terror, isn't it? And being overtired can trigger night terrors...from what I've read...so is that what my poor child is facing???
I must take a stand and make her go to sleep earlier. Operation "more sleep" will commence tonight.
