You poor things. I remember how much I hated bedtime because of how long it would take!!

I really think the fact she was left there by herself helped a lot. Might be a bit hard though If she has nothing keeping her in there.

Dd does go to sleep around 8.30-9 now though. She sleeps to about 8 in the morning. We've found the later bedtime causes a lot less trauma for everyone. It also means I can still get a decent sleep because I am a late to bed sleeper.
