Our bedtime routine has gone to you-know-where in a handbasket. We always have our bath at 8:30pm, jammies by 9:00pm, and milk/bedtime story/in bed by 9:30-10:00pm-ish. Well, no! Now Little Miss Walker has decided to be a wild woman after her bath and practice her walking forever. Now by 10:00pm I am holding her down and rocking her while she SCREAMS her fool head off. Then I go lay her down at 10:30pm and she cusses me for 5 minutes before falling to sleep.
This sucks.
Firstly, I thought a 9:30pm bedtime was bad enough, but it worked for us. She would sleep all night until 8:00am or so the next day. (Put her to bed any earlier and she was up screaming all night!) So, 9:30pm worked. I think I'm going to have to go hard-core on Frassy. No more ba-ba's cold turkey has worked okay, so now I think I'm going to put her in her bed and tuck her in at 9:30pm and if she wants to scream for an hour-so be it. We'll see how this goes.
(P.S. My readership can comment on these posts. Any advice would be appreciated.)

I think it is time for tough love. Take it from the Big Ann, you want to get her sleeping schedule normal, early on in life, or she will be like me and walk, talk, scream, etc. all night and then want to sleep all day.
Poor, Frassy... :(
