Any ideas???


We're having a slight sleeping problem in our house and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or suggestions for me.
Hope moved into her twin bed when we moved. After a couple days/weeks adjustment, she would stay in her room until we told her. Until she was potty-trained. She has been doing great, but now she gets up in the middle of the night to go potty. Except she doesn't go back to sleep after. She has been coming in about 2 hours before she used to get up. We put her back in bed and like 20 minutes later, she is back saying she has to go potty again. Then she'll go in her room and play for a bit then start yelling that she wants up or come back and says she has to potty again. But, needless to say, it makes for a cranky child (and mother) when she is cutting 2 hours off her sleep time- every night. Any ideas or suggestions are totally welcome. I just don't know what to do to get her to sleep longer/go back to bed/ etc. - getting a little tired of the constant crankiness.

We're having a bit of the same problem with Caleb...except he's just waking up about an hour early...around 6:30 or so...We just put him back to bed and tell him he can look at books but he has to stay there. That usually works but not always. Just stay consistent with her. Always put her back in and tell her to stay and reinforce it. Hopefully she'll understand soon that you mean business. I'll be praying. :)
PS. She's so cute and I love her pink bed!
