Long Night

Last night I gave Violet a bath. We read her a story in bed. I laid down with her for 30 minutes while she crawled all over me. Then we decided to let her stay up a little longer. 

I finally get her to sleep an hour later. Then around 3 in the morning she climbs on top of my back and curls up to sleep. It's weird! I don't know why she does that. But I'm afraid she's gonna roll off the top of me and fall off the bed. So, I put her back on the bed. Then she starts crying to get back on top of me. She gets quiet and I fall back asleep.

NOPE! Then she starts pinching my neck skin. Over and over and it seems to be lulling her to sleep. So, I let her pinch me forever!!! Lol, life of a mommy! The pinching gets more painful so I tell her "NICE" and she starts saying "Niiiiice" with a drawn out "S" sound. Next, she starts pulling my hair. Not to be mean or anything. It was so dark I don't think she knew what she was pulling.

Then I get up to change her diaper. Maybe that's the problem. Then she sees her stroller and starts climbing it. AHHH! She obviously doesn't want to sleep. So, I turn on her Praise Baby movie and we get in the recliner. This works for about 10 minutes until she starts crying.

At this point I'm tired and give up. I take her back to bed. Give her water and let her cry while I pat her back. Finally after 2 hours of all this craziness she goes back to sleep.

I love you Violet. But please don't do that to Mommy tonight, okay?
