Olive, are you really sure that we're not sharing the same toddler? We seem to be having the same issues at the same time lately!

I have no answers, just sending you hugs to let you know that you're not alone. My self-settling, wave me out the door 21 mo has disappeared and now I have to sit / lay down with her until she falls asleep. Usually I get sick of it when she is still mucking around 20 mins later and after numerous warnings I walk out leaving her to it. This generally ends up with her standing at the door crying for about a minute before she falls asleep on the floor....where she happily sleeps through till morning because if I try to move her I wake her up & we go through it all again. I don't know what to do about it either, and am kind of taking a hard nose approach in that she only cries for a minute, after I've given her a chance to go to sleep with me there and if she wasn't comfortable on the floor then she would wake up....I have no idea if I am doing the right thing, but I'm hoping she grows out of this & sleeps back in her bed (without me having to sit with her!!!!) very soon!!
