I went to bed at midnight, because I had to work and then slip in a quickie (late ovulation, I have never had this much sex, lol). THEN Anna woke up at 3, terrified. I layed down with her a bit, but she wouldn't fall asleep. Every time I went back to my room, she followed me. DH and I did some back and forth, taking turns, but she just wouldn't calm down and wouldn't sleep. At 5 the sun got up. FML. She then got super hyper and kept asking if she could get up yet.
Scared 5yo = worse than a newborn. We are working on it, because although it would be easier to just allow her in our bed, we don't sleep as well and then she doesn't learn to face her fears. AND SHE SHARES A ROOM WITH HER SISTER. So it's not like she is alone. Ugh.
I slept a tiny bit more from 6:30 to 7 and that was it.
