My night time technique employed to silence my child and to encourage her to drift into dreamland has left me in foetal position and scaling the walls. Ha - its not that bad really, more silly than bad! As Justaprimate suggested, I've been leaving her door open at night time as bribery to get her to sleep. Strangely, its working. She feels so much more comfortable and less scared of being locked into a dark room but it means that when she wakes up in the middle of the night, she has access to the whole house. It's creepier than you think to be woken in the depths of the night by the sound of pitter-patter feet, scurrying thought the kitchen. It's also hair-raising to sense that someone is watching you while you sleep, only to open your eyes and find a big two-year old face just cms from your own! Watching the japanese The Ring last night, didn't help!!! Great, now I'm afraid of my daughter......Especially when I get up in the night to those pitter-patter feet sounds only to find her going through the kitchen knife draw!
