Little Bear

This was taken during nap time today. I love when I get Briella to sleep and she actually stays asleep long enough for me to take a nap right along with her.

She had a little bit of a tough time sleeping last night. Sometimes she's on her schedule, sometimes she's not, baby life amirite? Anyway, she normally will wake up around 8pm and go back to sleep about 11pm or so, get up at 2am, and sleep until about 6:30am. Well, last night, she woke up at 8 and went right back to sleep, only to get up at 11 and stay up until 2.

This gif was literally her whenever she could come close to falling asleep. We struggled last night. I enjoy when Briella's awake, but not when it's when she would normally be sleeping, which is when I would normally be sleeping.

I did get some props today, though, that made me feel really good. My fiancee mentioned how he stayed up with Briella the other night when she didn't want to go back to sleep and how frustrating it was and he now understood how I felt when she would be fighting her sleep and I would get frustrated. Don't get me wrong, he helps out a lot with Briella and definitely does his share, I just like to take control and be the one who gets her in the middle of the night so he doesn't have to.

It felt really good to get that recognition from him. I'm glad he now knows that sometimes Briella is a little difficult, but it's all apart of being a parent!

Do any other mama's have a hard time getting their little one to sleep sometimes? Or have a hard time getting them to stay asleep? Or get a little frustrated when they start to fall asleep and then wake back up AND THEN whine because they're now fighting their sleep?

Let me know what you other mama's do for nap time with your little ones or what sort of sleep schedule they have!
