Bedtime Fights

(Yikes, thought I posted this last night!)

I've written and complained quite a bit about the bedtime fights. There have been two related problems, the length of time and the emotional intensity of the fighting. An hour or so of screaming is dreadful. Especially when it's night after night.
But [knock on wood], the fights have been gradually getting shorter and less intense. A couple of times this week there was no fight at all. And sometimes bedtime has only taken an hour. Even if she had a regular nap that day!
What a difference!
Not sure if she has learned that testing us here doesn't work. Not sure if she's finally comfortable in the routine. Or maybe she's just under the weather and next week will be back to hell. But for the time being, it has been very nice. For what it's worth, we're leaning towards growing maturity.
