So Tired!!!
So I learned today not to give Eva Children's Motrin just before bed. I gave her a smaller than recommended dose to help with her tooth pain. Not only do I think she's teething, but she fell on her sippy cup, cutting her gums very bad on Tuesday evening. Then she re-opened the wound last night. I'm sure her mouth was very tender and wanted to help her sleep through the night. Boy did I have the wrong idea. First of all, it took her a while to actually fall asleep. I knew that was off, but didn't give too much thought to it. But then she woke at 2:35am and thought it was time to get up. ?? As soon as I walked into her room, she said "nana?" Not wanting to deny her food, I gave her 1/2 a banana and a few sips of juice. I kept all the lights off and tried not to talk too much. But she kept asking to watch Pooh or Einsteins or Goofy or anything I would say yes to. I just told her they were all still sleeping and she needed to go back to bed too. It wasn't until about 4am that she fell back asleep. I heard her periodically throughout the remainder of the night. And at 7:30 this morning - she was ready to get up. ?? So - no more motrin before bed for her. If need be, we'll go with Tylenol. :)

That's funny....I've always found motrin to work better than tylenol for Jake :) I guess that's why we have both! Hope you've been able to get rested up.
