This AM better...5yo a little better today

[twk001]

so i read all of the threads from yesterday and I am SOOOO thankful that there are others out there with our dilema! She did better today. last night she was in bed a 7:50pm and fell asleep at about 8:40. we read two short stories, talked and said our bedtime prayer. i’m going to try to encourage this exact routine every night. I have always gotten her clothes, lunch, etc ready the night before so that will continue. last night was gymnastics as well, so she doesn’t get home from that until 7:45 (i know- i wish there was an earlier class available). i think she needed a little time to wind down from that. on the way to school this morning i suggested we try to get into bed even earlier tonight. we’ll see how it goes! twk

**Yay! Hearing other people get relief from sleep issues warms my heart (and makes me a wee bit jealous, but we won’t tell anyone).

Hopefully you can get to the point, the sweet spot, where it only takes about 20 mins to fall asleep. She may never be a morning person, but you should be able to help her not be such a cranky and stubborn non-morning person**

If you find that magic pill, would you please let me know so I can take it I’m just awful in the morning! I’m trying. I even packed my hubby’s lunch today and put in some chocolate kisses for him Normally I hide in the other room. I was getting up about an hour before everyone else so I could have some quiet time before the morning crazies started, but he gets up at 5:30 to work out and I’m not getting up at 4:30!!!
