Tess has been waking up earlier and earlier, perhaps because of the sun. It's not uncommon for us to hear her cry out at 5am. But she's still tired, and is then a grump for the whole morning until she gets to her nap.
Today I didn't go get her until 5:45, even though I could hear her fussing, because I hoped she might fall back asleep. She didn't.
If I put her to sleep in the morning, she won't take a long nap, and she won't take an afternoon nap, and so then she gets even less sleep.
If I don't put her to sleep in the morning, I have to live with a cranky baby who just needs to go to sleep until about 11 or 11:30 when I can start a mid-day nap.
For the first time in my life, I'm really hating long days full of sunshine.

Kirsten, I think you should black out Tess' windows--like black plastic black them out, so it is like night in there, and designate her room for sleeping.
It would be worth it!
