Sleep rebel

Jambeans latest 'phase' is refusal to go to bed. Every night turns into a battle of wills as a screaming, insistent toddler insists that she's not tired and wants to stay downstairs. This evening she even said she would sleep on the sofa, proving she is two going on sixteen. We get her upstairs and to sleep (alternating the firm-but-calm approach with some JFDI style manhandling), but of late she's been reliably waking up at 3am and then moans for mummy. We just bring her into bed with us because we don't have the energy to resist, and I spend the rest of the night with her sleeping in my armpit. Add into the mix Total Daddy Rejection and it's all getting a bit wearing.
