Sleep - Who Needs It?

Me! And Trudi! Also Hazel and Ivy!

Hazel's new trick is to not believe that bedtime is relevant for her. For the last two nights she has happily ignored the bedtime routine, the dummy, the dim room, etc. She just lies there smiling and thrashing about.

So I have reread The No-Cry Sleep Solution and have the following resolves:

1. We need a better bedtime routine.
2. They need better (longer) daytime sleeps.

I can help number 2 by not rushing in and getting them up the first time they stir. I have to help them settle again. usually this means dummies. Just as well Trudi bought a whole lot more after I melted them all...

Right they are waking - time for a bath. They are really gross. Hazel has a sticky eye again.
