This may sound crazy, and maybe it is a stage for my strong willed, almost two year old DD, but I am at my wits end. We recently night weaned and are sleeping better than we ever have. Some nights she doesn't wake up at all! We snuggle and I think it is great.
The way she wakes up, however, is driving me nuts! She wakes up very quickly and is immediately whining and pushing on me: nummies, nummies, potty, eat, seasame street, nummies, mama!!!!!! If I don't respond quickly enough for her she is kicking, scratching, starting to throw fits. I hate starting my days crabby and irritated before I have been awake ten minutes. Seriously, I am cranky before getting out of bed.
Is it just her strong personality and knowing what she wants? Is there a better way to handle this--I try to let her know that I understand what she is saying or asking for, but that some of these things are not going to happen right now. I feel like I haven't had time to wake up and am not dealing with this as good as I should.
