18 month sleep thing totes for real in our house

You all know I struggle with N's sleep but we had a really good run from 14-18 months. But in last 2 wks she just getting 30-60 min less sleep many nights due to the chattering before sleep and super early wake ups (5am) a couple days a week.I'm trying my best to prevent her being overtired but we all know we can't make them sleep.  I know her language is exploding among other things.  I'm really trying to just roll with it and help her get a bit more rest if I can but I will be glad if she goes back to more reasonable sleep soon.  It doesn't help that I have what feels like insomnia and my own trouble sleeping at night.

It will definitely end... I'm not sure if Rys sleep issues were from the 18 month thing, or from the ear infection/cold... Either way, she's 19. Mos now and she went back to normal sleeping three days ago!

hmm. it was like a switch went off at 18 months (also conveniently daylight savings time) and has yet to re-set. Insert extra big latte for me today.
