I decided to stay home this morning and get my cranky child who was awake in my bed at 4:45 am this morning, down for a morning nap - well, I put her in her bed after a warm, calming morning bath at 9:30 AM and it's currently 12:10 pm and she's STILL awake! She's been disciplined, had toys taken away and she still WON'T fall asleep! I'm at my wits end because this is what happens on a daily basis around here. I try to put her down after an early lunch and it takes her the first hour or more to actually fall asleep...usually after some discipline has taken place as well and then she's only asleep for a little before I have to wake her to go pick up Riley from school. The kid is tired...but for whatever reason, she refuses to give in and sleep. Why, oh why have I been blessed with kids who don't want to sleep? Riley didn't give up naps until he was 3. She's too cranky and not sleeping enough at night to skip naps during the day. What's a stressed out, exhausted mom to do? HELP!!!
