Kitten’s pre-school starts back up again today, which, we hope, will bring her back to a more normal footing at home. She’s gotten past, mostly, the adrenaliine-soaked-constant-attention-gathering vacation, but she’s been awful about going to bed — not protesting (more than usual), just not going to sleep, and being awake when we go to bed (which she seems to feel is just and fitting). She’s still doing her eleven hours, it’s just that the go from 10 to 9. Not good.
So, we hope, getting back into the school swing will burn some excess energy and get her back on an even keel. We hope.

Wait, you mean it doesn’t get easier? I have been bemoaning the fact that it’s so hard recently to get my 5 month old to go to bed. He’ll go to sleep, but then he’ll wake up in about 10 minutes and start wailing. Then you’ll pick him up, rock him in your arms, and when he falls asleeep you put him in his crib, at which point he promtply wakes up and starts screaming again.
I was thinking that at least after another few months or at most a year or so getting him to go to bed wouldn’t be a struggle, but know you’re telling me I’m wrong, Dave? This is very bad news. 🙂
I find these things tend to come in waves, each one seemingly interminable.
