Let there be light!

You'd think the sleeping issues in our house would be due to the baby.  Oh no.  As we've said many times, Reese is a sleeping connoisseur, it's Ryan who likes to party into the wee hours.  In my next life, I'm developing a crib for toddlers/young adults.  One in which you can't escape.  One in which you sleep all night.  Somewhat akin to a jail cell.  Anyway, bed time has been a b*tch for oh, 4 months now.  Dare we say we finally discovered the trick last night?  Drum roll please.........a nightlight (whatever, I know, parenting 101, but we Stiffs can be slow).  I put one in her room, it illuminated the entire city of Kirkwood, she said "oooh pretty lights" and then stayed in bed without protesting and fell asleep.

Of course she woke at 4am to urinate on her floor, but who doesn't do that, right?
