With VERY few exceptions, for the last year or so, you have been in bed and asleep no later than 7:30pm…usually closer to 7:00pm.

We developed a new bed time ritual upon our return from the Ranch…I rock you in the chair in your room until you are good and relaxed…and sometimes asleep. Then I will lay you in your crib and close the door behind me. You don’t cry, you don’t fuss, you just drift off to sleep until the next morning – usually between 7:00 – 8:00am.

Well, last night you made it clear you wanted no part of the relaxation time. Thinking you were just sleepy, I put you in your bed kicking and screaming thinking you’d quickly fall asleep. Not so! You made it very clear that the last thing you wanted to do was sleep. So, after about 5 minutes, we caved and let you out. You ran around the living room for the next hour or so and had a blast. It was clear you just weren’t ready for bed yet.

We pretty much repeated the cycle tonight! It might just be that your growing up a bit and your bed time is getting later. You are growing up so fast!
