5:30 am
Like Clock work, Adalie made her way into our room again at 5:30...well that's when we noticed her standing in the door way. Ugh. I have no idea what the problem is but I think it is time for a major schedule change in her life which is not going to be fun. I have spoiled myself with her sleeping habits of going to bed at 9 or 9:30 and sleeping in until 9 or 9:30 the next day, but now...it doesn't matter how late she is going to bed, she has still been waking up at 5:30 not wanting to go back to bed for almost a week AND she will not take a nap. I have no idea how she does it, but it usually turns out for bad moods during the evenings from both mom and Adalie. So, today we are going to start/try something new. I let her get out of bed at 6:30...(after she screamed until about 6)... and we will be taking a nap at 11 and try going to bed at 8 and waking her up tomorrow morning at 7:30 am. It is going to be a rough couple of days I think, but I might as well try and get her used to something new before Cason gets here and I stress myself out even more then trying something new with her after and dealing with a newborn. So, any suggestions or advice would be appreciated from any other parents out there who have suffered or is currently suffering from same issues. How do you do it?!?

I got lucky and have a child that loves to sleep and if he isn't asleep, he loves to just play in bed until one of us goes in and gets him. But if I had your problem, I would probably do the same thing. I'm guessing it will be a rough couple of days though :) After reading your last post about spoiling, I thought that you might enjoy a fabulous read on parenting/discipline by Jim Fay. It's called Parenting With Love & Logic and I love it! There are such good ideas in that book about how parents should discipline or deal with their children. Putting into practice what he recommends has worked wonders with Ethan. So, I'm a huge fan of it :) I'm not saying that you need help with any of this stuff, I think it's a good read for ANY parent!
