Schedule, schmedule

Peach decided sometime over the weekend that 3 AM was the perfect time to be wide awake. After two days of this, I decided something had to be done.

So Sunday night, I tickled her starting at around 7 PM. She was not happy about this. But, it kept her awake, and got her senses going. After about an hour of tickling her and scratching her feet to make her uncomfortable, she was wide awake.

She stayed awake until she got hungry, around 10:30, then when she was done eating, promptly fell into a deep sleep, and didn't wake up again until 4 AM.

Last night, same deal. Kept her awake, she fell asleep at 11 and slept until 5. For the first time in three weeks, we had 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep. The bonus is that after she wakes up to eat, she goes right back to sleep for a few more hours, so one of us gets to sleep in, while the other gets up with Peanut (usually around 7).

The only thing I'm afraid of is that she only ever seems to stay on a schedule for 2 days, and we're on day 2 of this one. And in two days, we're leaving for Illinois which I'm sure will completely screw her up, because it screwed up Peanut when we took her on the plane at 3 weeks old.
