Only Because I Want To Jynx Myself

I seemed to have stumbled upon a pattern that helps deter any night-time partying my child wants to partake in.

And it may not seem like rocket science to some, but to a Mom that loves her sleep (or hell, any Mom), I feel like I've solved some giant mathematics problem.

The key to getting a baby to sleep at night: wake her up during the day!

Like I said, rocket science.

The past two days Turtle has been awake at least 6 hours during the day and it greatly reduces the amount of time she's awake in the middle of the night.

I like her to be awake at least 3 hours during the day and I push for 2-3 hours after bedtime.

She hits the hay around 9pm and I actually get time to breath, time to hang out with my husband and shower un-interrupted.

Just typing that sentence makes me breath a sigh of relief.

Of course, I am a reasonable Mommy and know that the rug can (and most likely will) be pulled out from under me and because I typed this blog, the little stinkerbell will be up all night and tomorrow I will be sobbing tears on my keyboard as I complain to my readers.

Ah, the life I lead.

Ain't it grand?
