Um yeah right.
Not in this house....
I don't know WHAT is going on with Brynn these days but sleep is a disaster with her.
My Audrey. Oh what a super star. Sleeps through the night no problem, maybe waking everyonce in a greatwhile to nurse, but usually she is good all night.
Brynn.
She was always SUCH a good sleeper. But one thing I have learned as a parent is you are never "in the clear" with a kid. Just because he/she is good with one thing at a moment in time...that could change in an instant...as it did with Brynn.
All of a sudden she is afraid of the dark and scared of things and wants to sleep in mommy and daddys bed every.single.night. Bedtime went from a 30 minute routine to a 2 hour battle at times.
we have tried everything: nightlights, crying it out, laying with her until she is asleep. And always, she ends up freaking out unitl she is snuggled up beside mommy in bed.
I wont lie, I enjoy the extra snuggle time with Brynn...for the first 5 minutes but this girl is SO difficult to sleep with. I feel bad for her future husband!
First of all, I don't know what it is but her body temperature increases by about 50 degrees at night so she is as hot as the center of the sun. So much heat in such a tiny body!
Second of all, she kicks, spins and practically jumps around the bed while asleep. This is how we found her this morning:

Third of all, she talks in her sleep like crazy. Here is a sampling of the ramblings with Brynn the other night. Picture this, complete silence except for the soft breath of little Brynn...all of a sudden she shrieks:
"Loud Noise! I don't like the loud noise!!!"
then silence....10 minutes later
"I don't want to sit with santa"
silence yet again...what is this girl dreaming about? Then, another 10 mintues (my favorite outburst)
"COOKIES! I WANT Cookies! I want COOKIES!"
someday when are girls are grown and want nothing to do with Chad and I, we will look back on these days and remember, not the lack of sleep, but the funny stories like this.

I feel your pain! Sometimes reading your blog makes me feel like we are life twins. We are having a very similar issue with Ally. I hope it gets better for you.
