Bedtime update

We have had an exciting time with bedtime for some time now.....and then things settled down and I felt a wave of relief...boy was that one short lived!!! We are back to being 2 1/2 and wanting to be a part of the world ALWAYS and that means not going to bed. She'll tell you she is tired, but doesn't want to go to ni-ni. As a parent, you try all sorts of things and I resorted to having her "rest" in my bed. Well, this was HUGE, big time fun, but within 20 - 30 minutes, she is out like a light....I move her to her bed and all is well. She'll even tell you in the morning that she goes to sleep in Mamma's bed. It isn't perfect, but she isn't yelling, screamming, beating on the door, sleeping on the floor, nada, she's just flipping and flopping around in my king size bed until she gives in to sleep. We even read first, put her baby doll in bed with her and leave the room. Weird, but it works!! :-)

I'm just praying that JD will let me keep Lorelai in her crib until she's....oh, I don't know...too long to fit?
