Oh it is soooo frustrating!
Well last night went better than the night before. I'd tried and tried to keep her awake all day so that she'd be sleepy at bedtime, but I had to go out to the shops late afternoon and she took that as an opportunity to fall asleep in the car - despite me shouting her name and trying to keep her interested in anything that we could see!
My mum popped round last night and so after Charlotte had had her bath and milk, my mum took her up to bed, did toilet visit, clean teeth and story. Charlotte got up once, I think to try my mum, was taken promptly back to bed, had a bit of a whine and fell asleep within about 20 mins.
She got up at around 10 ish, but I put her straight back and not a peep until morning!
I'm so glad that I don't have a nightmare with her everynight! (but before I speak too soon, we'll see how tonight goes!)
