I think it’s peaking!! Awake before 6 every day regardless of bedtime!! And my word she is mean  :'(she’s currently having the biggest benny ever because daddy is helping her cos I’ve got a headache  :'( so need this phase to pass soon. She is so blumming tired and miserable all the time.

She’s been that off I think she’d wake mega mega early! But I’ll try a 6:30 ish maybe tonight to try and stave off OT. The problem we’ve got coming next week is the darn clock change  ::)

I know the clock change is a pain but hopefully should be back to normal after a couple of days x

We be given in and let her nap in the car  ???
She’s been in a fowl mood all morning so obviously knackered. Who knows what bedtime will bring but to be honest I’m past caring right now. She’s messing at the dinner table too so I’m done  ::)

Just pop her to bed a tad later if it’s a long nap if it’s only 30 mins stick to normal.

We’re having mealtime issues too so you’re not alone x

Was only about 30 mins so I’ll try for normal bed. I don’t know whether she’s fixated on the groclock lamp she’s got  :o she loves to tell us the sun is awake but I’m wondering if she’s sitting waiting for it to come on  ???  I’ve had a chat with her today and said that if the moon is on she must go back to sleep until I come in for her and it will be when the sun is awake??!! Who the heck knows eh? Brain melting. She’s happier for the sleep as she’s munching on an apple in the car on our way home. Was a quick dash to Ikea x

Sounds like a good day in the end! We are having lots of issues with not wanting to eat at the table, not wanting what’s offered etc. For us I’ve found the best success is either little and often meals or having him sit with his plate empty and serving from bowls in the middle, takes the control battle away and then he is in charge as such of what he wants. Also he’s into eating what I’m having so I just put up 2 bowls of the meal one small and one adult size but I take the small one put the other to one side he then says wants to eat mine and so I give him my bowl 😉 really his.

Have a good relax tonight and try not to get anxious as it won’t change how she sleeps but will just play on your mind.
Have a nice big deep bath...my idea of heaven x

Thanks hun. I’ve found letting her help cook meals really helps. She is still finishing her antibiotics for a chest infection so that hasn’t helped the eating situation.
I’m doing well with my anxiety to be fair. Just so hard seeing her so tired all the time. I know I can’t do anything to make her sleep longer in a morning. It’s just a constant game of sleep catch up at the minute  :'(
