Bedtime Battles

Breena use to be our perfect little girl at nap/bedtime. She would lay in bed & fall asleep without so much as a peep.  Last fall things took a dramatic turn.  We have tried everything to avoid bedtime battles.  I keep her on a strict sleep schedule, avoid overtiredness, & monitor eating sweets before resting.  Today I just couldn't handle anymore screaming so I shut her door and ignored her.  Within 15 minutes her hysterical screams became softer and finally it was quiet.  I tried to open her door to check on her and could barely get her door open.  Here is what I found:



She had fallen asleep right next to the door.  I was able to open it wide enough to stick the camera in.  At least I know now that letting her throw a tantrum eventually ends in a quiet house :)
