This is my problem. I hear her all night long and am constantly waking up. She is independent and not afraid of the dark, at all, but she is still only 2. I have found her in the fridge getting cheese and hot dogs, pantry, bathroom washing her hands, playing with the dogs, waking up her sisters to play a game, picking a new movie for me to put in the DVD player for her.
Last week she came into my room with her stool, used it to reach the light switch, says "good norning, i'm awake" (she says norning not morning) walked to my night stand took my kindle, turned off the light, grabbed her stool and shut the door. I got up to she what she was doing. She was in front of the Christmas tree (lights on), with her bean bag chair, "blankie", a hot dog, cheese and my tablet.
At this point my wife and I swap nights to handle her and take naps on the weekend. Hopefully she starts sleeping more soon.
I have typed numerous posts on here, in my irritable sleep deprived state, going off on people only to delete them because I'm a mod.
