Bed Time DRAMA!

 Last Sunday I put Brooklyn to bed like usual, and went into Brycen's room to put him to bed. Shortly after I hear Miss B whimpering, I go in to check on her and her towel has fallen from the back of her door. Ok I pick it up, put it back, no big deal. Back to bed she goes. I go back to Brycen's room to finish putting him to bed when I hear a loud bang (from brooklyn's room) and her screaming this terrifiying scream. My heart jumps to my throat I run in to save her from what I thought was her bookshelf on top of her. Her humidifier had fallen all by itself out of the closet onto the floor. (WTH) I was shaken, she was shaken, so I brought her into Brycen's rocker and we rocked him to sleep. Two hours later my girl still would not go back to her bed to sleep and woke every 1/2 hour after to have one of us sleep with her.

Man oh man we are still going crazy with the bed time drama. We have tried everything to get her to go back to sleep on her own like she once use too but it feels like it is nothing more then a mere memory. She kicks, she screams, she cries, she beggs, she pleads. She will not go to bed without us sleeping with her. Jeff has taken up a pretty permant space on her floor each night because not only is going to sleep an issue every time she wakes in the night she needs us to be there for her to go back to sleep. We haven't even gotten Brycen to sleep through the night and now they are both pulling this. Ugh and nap time is no easier.

Tuesday night after Brooklyn waking up 4 times between 9 and 11:30pm and Brycen who was up for the darn day at 230am we looked at each other listening to out 2 screaming children and god only knows the thought each one of us was thinking. It wasn't pretty that's for sure. 

Today we made progress, after the same song and dance I told her she could just play in her room. I turned on all lights and she played quietly till she fell asleep.
At bedtime tonight, she is in her bed right now, along, with all her lights on, her door open wide and she is playing with her dollhouse. It is a step. An itty bitty baby step because yesterday this would not of worked.
Please help us get through this! We are all so darn sleep deprived!
