"Sleep boot camp" is in full effect at our house. Miss M. use to be such a GREAT sleeper, and would always sleep through the night. Then, we took away her crib and gave her a big girl bed, almost two months ago, and we've had problems ever since.
Everything from climbing out of bed, opening door, wondering the hallways, crying, waking up several times a night.
It is exhausting and tiring for all of us, and especially Miss M. who was getting into more trouble than usual because of her tired / crankiness.
Now we have her sleeping through the night again (not without a couple nights of many tears), but the issue now is, she sleeps on the floor and NOT in her bed.
The logical side of me says, "choose your battles", and this is not one of them, and then the other side of me says, "Sleep in your bed that is so comfy and nice and beautiful!!!"
Anyway, right now we are in bribery mode...."If you sleep in your bed, we'll buy you that _____ that you wanted at the Toy Store!" It's not working either.....sigh.
Oh well, I just have to remember that she will not go to college sleeping on the floor. Or if she does, oh well, at least she's sleeping.
