It's going to be a bumpy ride! Eleanor is, well, let me just say "spirited". She's only 1, but she causes havoc where ever she goes. She will NOT be ignored.
We've been trying to "sleep train" her for the last 6 nights. I love how the "experts" roll it out that if you follow their plan and do exactly what they say, within 7 days, you'll have a child who is complacent and sleeping through the night.
And then there's Eleanor...
Last night was worse than the first night. I've read, re-read, and can totally memorize the sleep training manuals. Heck, I could give a seminar on the subject. That is, if I could actually function. Because in order to talk a comprehensive sentence, that would require brain-mouth connectivity. And, right now that doesn't happen without loads of caffeine. I digress...
The old adage: Youth is wasted on the young has never been truer until I met this child. How can someone so tiny run on so little sleep?
If you had told me years ago that I would actually be longing for sleep, I'd have scoffed. Sleep was overrated! Now, I'm so desperate I'm ready to go to KFC and make a sacrifice to the sleep deities.
