Leah is!
So, I know I can't take all of the credit. We are just fortunate to have an amazing little girl who really likes to sleep. I think part of it is, she likes knowing that the same exact thing is going to happen at the same exact time every night, and that she doesn't have to worry about being sleepy and not going to bed. She gets to get in her own bed right when she is good and tired. I know I can totally relate. I can't tell you how many nights I have the same exact smile on my face. There's something about stretching out in your bed after a long day, that is just such a joyous experience.
With all of that being said, I will take a little of the credit. I have been given a hard time for most of Leah's life because I am such a stickler for Leah's nap and bedtime schedule. I am just not willing to compromise on her sleep. I know all too well, with being a teacher in a low-income school, how important sleep is, and how not getting enough good sleep can effect you negatively. I also know how important sleep is to brain development in the early years. So, make fun of me, get mad at me for wrecking a good time because Leah needs to sleep in her own bed every night, but the proof is in the pudding.
Let 'em make fun all they want. I don't mind it a bit that I have to come to your house and that you have to fix me dinner so Leah can go to bed on time. You can cook for me any old time you want...oh yeah, and I will hold that precious little angel baby till it's time for her night-night!!! Sounds like a great deal to me!
