She still sleeps in bed wit us, so when she wakes up, she promptly wakes us up. <br /><br />Basically, we've been doing what you did. We've been going to be earlier, and when she wakes up, one of us goes downstairs to the playroom with her and dozes halfassedly on the couch while she flips through her books, looking at the pictures, and pointing to the horsies. <br /><br />It could be worse, but it is still sub-optimal. <br /><br />RobRob Helpy-Chalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814390262154687969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102103.post-1100297986743923212004-11-12T17:19:00.000-05:002004-11-12T17:19:00.000-05:00I'm not a cry-it-out parent either.

If she's talking, she's maybe between 1-2, somewhere? Does she sleep in your bed? If not, could you take her into bed and let her wake, or maybe fall back asleep, or at least play quietly while you sort of doze halfassedly for a little longer?<br /><br />All I can say is that during each hideous phase where I couldn't handle it, I just figured out a way to handle it (possibly going to bed at 6, or whatever) and wait it out.bitchphdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118578280520171800noreply@blogger.com
