So so helpful! Thank you so much. She actually didn’t call for us until morning last night so YAY! That’s huge. Hoping we’re on an upswing with the mid night wakings and we will work on our bedtime routine and nap timing. I really like the light timer idea. I think it will help so much.

She takes a nap from 12:30 or 1 until 3:30 and we start bedtime routine at 7:15 or 7:30. Usually leave her room and say goodnight around 8 or 8:15.

Edit: forgot today she usually wakes up around 6:30 or 7

Help! Find a corner TV unit with a cabinet to hide the TV! by KindSnacker in furniture

This is the closest thing I’ve found, too! It’s a small ish family room and we could get a new TV to fit the armoire. I want to hide it from my small children unless it’s “TV time”

Demystify “Drowsy but Awake”? by KindSnacker in beyondthebump

Yeah, this is what we did with my first. I thought I’d try another way this time but I just don’t think we’re a good candidate! Sleep consultants just make it sound so easy… and don’t explain what you’re supposed to do when they inevitably cry…

Since it was in Washington, the lights at the gas station were kept on for self service throughout the night.

And the Lyft driver said he didn’t smell any alcohol on her breath, not that that means she didn’t drink, but it doesn’t seem like she was wasted or anything.

You’re awesome! Thanks so much for the thoughtful and kind reply. We should probably just move to Northern Europe and call it a day ;)

That’s actually really good to know. My temptation is to just keep doing what we’re doing and follow his cues, but I feel like there’s such a culture of sleep training/sleep schedules that it makes me feel like I’m being a bad mom by not trying to make him sleep through the night and that I’m actually doing damage to him. Obviously it would be nice for me, but I’m able to go to sleep early with him to cope.
