Um, this isn't exactly working.

The plan was to convince her that she had to stay in her room during sleep time, figuring that eventually she'd conk out if she were on her bed.

Well, the hold-the-door-almost-shut thing went okay. She stopped tugging on it, did NOT throw a tantrum, and snuggled up on her bed with a book.

That was fifteen minutes ago. She's been reading to herself and breaking into her occasional renditions of the Alphabet Song, ever since.

Elizabeth, fais dodo. Maman en a besoin d'un, aussi.

Heh... when I was really little, my mum used to get up in the morning, get me dressed and fed, put me down on the livingroom floor with toys, lie down beside me and then fall back asleep again. I'd play quietly with my toys until it was time to be fed again.

My mum says I was the most amazing infant... not so sure about my toddler stage. I know I could dress myself at 2, but by that point she'd had my sister and since my sister broke her collar-bone on the way out (she, being enthusiastic about everything she does, was in something of a rush to be born) she was screaming for the first 6 weeks of her life. I think that may have superceded any memory my mother has of how much/little of a hassle I was as a tot.
