our lastest battle (she's a darn cute battle. huh?)

our darling Liyah hates hates hates in the most passionate way that act of going to bed. she doesn't mind the bath so much, brushing the teeth or putting her diaper on. She doesn't mind reading books and putting her socks on but she very much dislikes actually getting in her bed. she loves singing songs and snuggling but when it is time for mommy to leave and go to bed she just will not have it. she screams and yells for me but only because she knows I will give in and snuggle her. i know it is bad but I give in sometimes. I started laying with her a few nights in a row and now she thinks that i am supposed to sleep in the heR bed. She was doing really well in her big girl bed but half way through the night we have been waking up to her sleeping in our doorway with her pillow and blanket all curled up in a ball. when we ask her why she was sleeping on the floor it is always "because she missed us"......cute. so dallas has been putting her to bed a couple nights in a row and it has worked like a charm. so i thought maybe she would be okay with me putting her to bed again last night. guess what!? she whinned and cried until I gave in and put her in her big girl bed and we woke up to her in our doorway this morning. We had to resort to putting her in her brother's playpen because she hasn't quite figured out how to get out of that bed yet. oh bedtime.
