Well the theory is fully disproved! Since the last blog, we have had two nights and each one has been an "up at 2am and play till 5am"! We have decided that our next tactic will be to not give her any 'sleepy drug' at all but to keep her up as late as possible before she starts sleeping. The rationale for this is that she has been having around 7 hours sleep before she awakes at 2am .... if she doesn't start sleeping till 10pm, then she may not wake till 5am. This would be quite tolerable for us .... and Kaylia would still be getting the same amount of sleep as before.
We will put this into action tonight and see how it goes over the next few nights. Fingers crossed! We need to solve this problem as we are both becoming physically run down from lack of sleep.
Today, she is a very happy girl ... it is Sunday and she has Mummy to herself! She has also decided that she wants to go swimming again. Every 5 minutes we hear ..."I want slee-poo-poo!" or "I want peckar!" (swimming pool & playground)
Yesterday we had a playground tour! I needed to show Linda how to find the local playgrounds and so it was a good sightseeing trip that also gave Kaylia a good drive and good playground time.
