These last few weeks, since Tee turned three, we’ve been having real trouble putting her to bed. She is adamant that she is NOT tired. The moment she hears anything remotely close to sleep and bed, she starts whining and begging. How ironic that those two words are what I crave most these days.
Then she throws a fit when we put on our firm voices. The fit eventually turns into an uncontrollable dramatic wail. The kind you see in Hindi (Indian) movies where the lady wails when her lover has been in an accident and died. Floor rolling, untying the sari etc etc etc.
We go through the same thing for daytime naps but on a smaller scale. Even when she doesn’t nap, she will finally pass out from over-tiredness by 7pm but wakes an hour later! Then the party begins. All over again. She has a lot of stamina that can go on for 14 hours.
Any tips anyone? *pulling hair out* What should I do when the drama begins? Get angry and send her to the corner? Or try my best gently to calm her down?
Why does every single day and night have to be such an ordeal??? If only she knew how she is going to LOOOOOO………..VVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE……….sleep when she is older. *sigh*
