Miss A hasn't had any night terrors in about a week since we started getting her up at 7 each morning. Once we started getting her up earlier, she started taking naps again! Because she's been getting naps, she's not overtired at bedtime and thus-no night terrors! But it requires us (the 'rents) going to be earlier each night...it's really making me schedule my evenings better too.
This past weekend we decided to tackle getting Miss A back to sleeping in her bed all night long rather than bringing her in our room whenever she woke during the night.
The first night was the toughest as she woke up 4 times. The first two times were the hardest as she was really upset. FJ slept through most of it but he woke up later on his own as he is getting 3 top teeth in at once! Saturday morning we noticed that one had finally broken through!
Miss A is still waking up at night...several times...but we just go in and calm her down and she is quieting down much faster. FJ is also waking up because of his teeth so between the two of them, we aren't getting much sleep around here!

Stella had a bad dream Saturday night. We had done a duathlon that day and she saw Damon sucking wind after he finished his bike, so when she woke up she told me she dreamed Daddy was doing something bad. When I asked her what he was doing she said, "He was breathing like this" and proceeded to pant. I guess that was scary for a 2 and a half year old! I explained that we have bad dreams sometimes and it is only our imaginations, which she seemed okay with and went right back to sleep. It was actually not that bad. Especially considering that she woke me up from my own bad dream about going to a birthday party in my underwear...
