For the past month or so, my LO has been super consistent (she's 17.5 months currently). She was waking at 7, breakfast at 7:45-8, lunch at 11:30, nap around 12:45, dinner at 6, and bedtime at 7:30. DH had two weeks off for Christmas and went back to work Monday. She got up at like 6:20/6:30 Monday (I assume from hearing his car again). But she looked for him all morning and didn't want him to leave her sights when he got home.

Monday night her sleep was terrible. We had changed her sheet to flannel (and have since changed it back). Plus it was cold, she's teething, and she was stressed about him being gone. Yesterday (Tuesday), she woke up at 5:45 and didn't nap at all and didn't act like she even wanted to nap. She went down fine last night and slept fine, except she woke up at 5:10 this morning.

Any advice on what to do? I can't go much earlier and I would like for her schedule to at least be similar (maybe walking at 6:30 at the earliest. She's eating breakfast way early now. And I have been trying to keep her nap time and bedtime consistent to try to get her back in her groove, as she seemed to be doing good with that schedule. Anything else I can do or other perspectives? I wait until she is definitely awake before going to get her in the morning.
