[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op. Thanks for the advice and kind words everyone.

I was feeling especially down over it this morning. I woke up early to workout, because I haven’t worked out since DD2 was born and early AM is the only time I can. And of course within 5 minutes DD woke up and was crying. The blanket wasn’t right. The pillow wasn’t right. Her stuffie wasn’t right. She wanted daddy. So I didn’t get to work out.

Just feels hopeless and like I’ll never get back to having a balanced life. [/quote]

Start with being able to say no. If it's before her wake up time do not go to her. Go do your workout and use earplugs if necessary. It's going to be tougher now because she's already 2, this would have been a lot easier to do when she was younger. Sounds like she was never properly sleep trained?

My 2 year also is also a light sleeper and wakes up if we are up early and there is noise in the house. But he has the ability to self-sooth and either go back to sleep or lie quietly in his room until we get him at his regular wake up time. And no, he's not a dream / easy child, he has exhibited similar behaviors as your daughter at an earlier age, but we held boundaries and stamped it out. [/quote]
