Our 2.5 year old refuses to stay in bed for the past few weeks. It's a nightmare, she will just keep getting up for hours literally. I put her down at 8:30 and she fights us until 11:30. She comes up with all kinds of excuses, want milk, to dark, thirsty, want a hug, want kitty, want ... She has flashlights, dream lights, blankets, books , everything. This is exhausting.
