I am definitely guilty of trying to convince baby Ninja that my way is best and coming completely unstuck when she flatly refuses to believe me. Oh, so so true.

One bit of advice that came from my mother, that I thought was great and not at all old fashioned, was "They are always changing." Meaning, if things are going like crap, they will get better later. If they are getting up too early, chances are it won't last. If they are sleeping through the night, something will happen to change that. And it's true. Doesn't make it any easier, but it's true. Sorry about the crabby, tired, teething toddler. That's no fun! But you'll get through it. If I could get through that with my son (he was also just walking right around 15 months, so that really made him sleep bad), anyone can. Yes I agree!!
