G would not go to sleep tonight. She screamed and cried and laughed and tooted and puked. We rocked her, bounced her, sang to her, talked to her, played with her, scolded her, fed her, burped her. It was all to no avail. For nearly 3 hours we tried to get her to go to sleep. And when she did finally drift off it was fitful for another hour an a half. The poor thing was so utterly tired but just refused to go to sleep. It's tough being a parent in times like these. No matter how much patience I have, it's still frustrating. When she acts contrary to everything we want her to do, it's hard to keep our cool. She just started on a regular bedtime and I look forward to hanging out by myself or with B for a couple of hours but tonight G was determined to mess with us. We made it through this though. She's sound asleep now and we're relaxing; B's playing Assassin's Creed III and I'm watching Canada's Handyman Challenge and Pinteresting. Here's to tomorrow night going MUCH better. Cheers!
