Struggles at bedtime

Sofia can be challenging as all people can be. She is driving us nuts at bedtime. My only comparison is that Sofia is like the energizer bunny... she keeps going and going and then keeps going and going some more. She usually falls asleep about the time I want to crash which means that Daddy and I don't get any time to ourselves or time to spend together. It is beyond frustrating and to be honest, I'm running out of ideas. Sofia is pleasant in the morning, so maybe she is getting enough sleep with a nap at daycare.

I find myself missing that grown-up time more than anything. I don't have a problem with her being up, but she needs to be in her room and relatively quiet. Sofia doesn't do that either, she breaks out even if she knows we're there. It would be comical if it wasn't so maddening.

All in all, we have a vivacious and happy kid with Sofia so there really isn't anything to complain about. I have said this about both of my kids - I would rather have a kid who is stubborn and feisty because those traits will serve them well while they mature. That being said, I'll deal with it now because this "issue" too shall pass.

Just look at her... yeah, we're lucky to be her parents.
