DESPERATE TIMES CALL FOR DESPERATE MEASURES


Kaebrie usually naps for about 2 hours every afternoon and usually goes to bed at 8pm, and sleeps between 11 - 12 hours. That has not been happening on this trip. She is in such a sleep deficit from not napping and staying up way to late, that I had to do something drastic today, as my sweet girl was turning into a crabby, fussy, whiny, not so nice to be around three year old.
We came back to the hotel room, and I put her bed into the bathroom. I turned her sound machine on loud, closed the shower curtain, shut the door, and she slept for almost 3 hours, in the bathtub.
Sam thought I was nuts.
But she wouldn't have slept with the rest of us sitting out here all in the same room.
Hey, it WORKED!
The only rule was you could only go the bathroom if it was absolutely necessary, but NO FLUSHING!!!!!

LOL! What a great idea! And I love that you took a picture so you can prove to her, years from now, that she actually slept in a bathtub! :)
