Bedtime Woes: Continued

Madelyn is terrified of having the door closed so we tried the gate thing. I left the door open but the gate closed off her exit. She was getting up between 4 and 7 times throughout the night standing at the gate screaming. Which means I am up so that Avery and Daddy don't end up awake as well. So, after two nights, I closed the door. The poor baby cried herself to sleep but continued to get up about 7 times that night scared and crying. It took all my will power to ignore her. So by night 4 I got her a night light. So we could close the door but she wouldn't be frightened in the dark. Since then it takes her about an hour to fall asleep. She is playing, pulling all of the socks out of the drawers, looking at books, etc.,etc. There is a twin in her room. She insists that I tuck her in on the big girl bed, but when I go back to check on her she is in the crib. By two in the morning I will find her back in the twin and sometime around 5 she gets into the crib again. No wonder this girl is taking fantastic naps lately. Poor thing. Have I made a mistake with the night light? Is she going to set a bad pattern in which she can't sleep through the night anymore? This girl is driving me crazy. I get up more with her than I ever did with my newborns. I am tired enough form this pregnancy. I feel like a walking zombie.

PS- Don't forget to leave me you email. I plan on going private by the end of the week.
