Will we ever sleep again?


As some of you know, we have been having some issues with sleep in our house over the past two months. That is, Tanner doesn't want to do it! Ever since she crawled out of her crib, she has been extremely hard to get to sleep and she doesn't stay asleep all night like she used to. She can open doors now, too, so guess where she comes every night......our room! We have put her back in her bed over and over and over and over and over again. Have I stressed the over and over part enough? She still won't stay there all night. She is just such a restless sleeper. She moves so much in her sleep. We found her half in and half out of her bed one night still asleep. She has also fallen asleep in the hallway after getting out of bed. One night, I heard her on the monitor screaming "Mama!!!". I ran in there to find her doubled over and stuck underneath her toddler bed. As you can see from the pictures, there is hardly any room under that bed. I have no idea why or how she got under there! We thought our problems would be solved once we got her a "big girl bed" but we were wrong! Randy and Cindy gave us a full size bed for her room. It is up against the wall with a bed rail on one side so she won't fall out and she STILL wakes up in the middle of the night and climbs out! The good news is we are starting to get used to functioning with no sleep again. Hopefully this is a phase and it will pass soon!

One night, she had gotten out of bed and decided to play in her room. We heard her and went to check on her and she had put some shoes on!
This is what she looked like after we decided to check on her
This is Tanner asleep in the hallway after crawling out of bed.

Half in, half out... Notice the lack of room under the bed. Can you imagine that she actually found a way to get herself stuck under there? Crazy kid! =)
