I need a hug. And some sleep :(
Ugh it has been a rough few days. Brody has been sleeping horribly the past four nights waking 3-4 times and taking forever to settle back down. He had his pedi appt yesterday and he checked out healthy although he does have some spots on his feet/hands and a red throat so I am wondering if he had a mild case of HFM. Last night he was fussy from his shots and pretty much didn't sleep from 3 AM on. Ella has also been waking SUPER early the past three days and I have no idea why. Today it was 5:30 AM. Ugh. She is sooo whiny and tired all morning but won't go back to sleep.
Today I went in to set up my classroom so my mom watched the kids. Ella WILL NOT nap at her house now that she is in a big girl bed. She gets up and comes out of her room or screams and pounds on the door. She threw such a big fit today that she woke up her brother who was finally sleeping for the first time since being up at 3 AM. I am getting so worried because she is supposed to transition to napping in a big girl bed at the sitters this year and I know it is going to be a total disaster. She can't throw screaming fits like that because it will wake the other kids. But on the same token, not napping is not an option- she is a complete mess without one. I don't know what to do and am SO tired 
Re: I need a hug. And some sleep :(
I am so sorry you are having a rough go of things. It will get better, though. I require a good amount of sleep so I really feel your pain on the lack of it.
As far as Ella not napping you might be surprised how well she transitions at daycare. The little girl I used to watch would throw screaming fits at home every single nap and bedtime, but for me she never made a peep and always went down like an angel, even when I moved her from the PNP to a bed.
(((HUGS)))
Hang in there, momma.
