Sleeping is Optional

So, I thought the days and nights thing was worked out. Not so. Mia has apparently decided that she wants to play between 3-5 am which is fine except I do not. Nor does her brother or father. Mia has also decided that her crib is not an appropriate place to play between the hours of 3-5 am. I was all set up to duct tape a itty bitty book light to the side of her crib so I could just roll over and turn it on for her and she could go to town biting her stuffed animals, an activity that is paired with maniacal screaming and is of great concern to the cat in the home. Or, she could continue her expirements on the force of gravity that she has been conducting by tossing her stuff out of the crib and watching the results. I would have to stock the crib, however, as the gravity tests seem to go rather quickly and are not at all standardized. Meanwhile, I could just roll over and go back to sleep as maniacal screaming and stuffed animal abuse does not keep me awake. The crying, on the other hand, does. I had a talk with her this morning to explain my position and also provided her with what specific outcomes I expect from our discussion. However, since I have no leverage, I may just begin catching up on ER between the aforementioned hours.
