Nora's going through an awful phase of waking up in the middle of the night and staying awake. Screaming most of the time or crying. We went to the sleep doctor yesterday and he thinks it may be night terrors. What to do about it? Have her on a schedule of naps and regular bedtime. Hmmmm... I try but her school sched is so crazy that she doesn't nap the same time everyday. She wakes up between 5 and 6 every morning no matter what. Makes for a long day. If she wakes up at 6, maybe she'll take a 2 hour nap, then to bed by 7:30 or so, wakes up at 11:00 and then again at 2:30-4:00 am and up again at 6 am. Ridiculous.
Also, she and Emma share a room so when she starts to go nuts we have to put her in the pack n play in the guest room or our room. So nobody is sleeping. Our walls are not super sound proof either. Alex has been gone since Sunday so I am extra tired. And grumpy. So don't call me, I may be napping.
