Night time battles

Oh the joy of night-time battles! Nothing makes a mom and dad feel so relaxed after an hour and a half of kicking, screaming, yelling and crying because its time for bed routine. You name it, I tried it...the questions, "are you scared?" "are you having nightmares?" the bed time ritual (brush teeth, potty, book, songs, etc.). I even tried more mommy-Jelly time...and my little master manipulator princess still delays bedtime up to an hour.

Even when we try to get ready for bed, an hour earlier...Jelly-slowsky-bean manages to delay it even longer.

And to put the cherry on top of this sleep-deprived sundae, she wakes up through-out the night crying...it is like we have a newborn all over again...only, the new-mom-adrenalin-thing is gone and I have to get up at 5 am to go to my 8-5 job every day. Yes, I think I have officially entered that zombie-mommy phase. Drink lots of coffeeeeeee.

She has a night light, lullaby's playing all night and every baby and princess and doggie and kitty in her bed next to her...so seriously, Dr. Sears, Dr. Karp ---Anyone...pleaase help!
