I posted the first day of your experiment and said we had a hard time with our 2 year old in a bed for over a month last year. Then, as I said, we reassembled the crib and drilled new holes so that the mattress was so low that even our very strong 2 year old could not get out. Anyway, our son seemed happy to be back in the security of his crib, and we moved him to a bed 11 months later when his new little sister needed the crib. He does great now, usually sleeping in until 6:30 or 7:00. He can also read the clock, so I tell him that I will not get out of bed until after 6:30. This also works most days. But the point of this is to say that it's not too late. Anyway, good luck! Kathy Hi Melissa:

My family regularly conspires against me to keep me from getting proper sleep. In fact, I posted a blog the other day on that very topic! It reads remarkably like your own experience... hope things improve at your house. It's a bit unpredictable at ours - one day Jr. gets up at 5:30, the next it can be 7:30... he just likes to keep me on my toes!!! Wow, we’re leading parallel lives!

No amount of putting her back to sleep has EVER helped. What is most difficult is that you have the little one nursing, so you really aren't getting any sleep. I'm so sorry. Good thing Dora is such a good early morning companion. :) I am laughing, but only because my daughter also wakes up promptly at five am every morning.
