5am on a Tuesday morning and Sophia wants to play. Wha? Huh? Its one thing if she was quiet I would just let her play quietly in her crib, but she's not. She is VERY VERY LOUD. So I'm wide awake with her and trying to get her to go back to sleep. Problem is that she doesn't want to go to bed. She wants to play. What's the right thing to do here? If I just let her stay awake then her schedule is off all day and she'll be miserable. If I give her a bottle she might go back to bed, but she's not going to want to eat her breakfast. If I talk too loud she's not going back to sleep any time soon. I try to soothe and rock her back to sleep and after 30 minutes I finally get her to close her eyes when my alarm clock goes off. Dammit. So I sit on the carpet and play with her. 20 minutes later she's rubbing her eyes and looking groggy. Sure enough, I rock her for 2 minutes and she is out like a light. Problem is that it's now 630, I have to get ready for work and I've been up an hour and a half. Now I'm going to be tired all day.
Great.
