To expect DD3 (12m) to be in bed?

[SMSDidntMeanToOffendDido]

???

She has been poorly, but is better today. She is tremendously chatty and energetic which is good to see given the lack of activity over the last couple of days

BUT

I want to go to bed

oh dear! Im not normally up this late but I just cant sleep. Could be DH snoring though!!
Anyway, have you tried giving her a bit of calpol? I use that when my dd is extremely energetic and wont sleep. It normally works. she is 2.4

Chatty, energetic sounds like dd(nearly 3!)LOL Erm no not unreasonable. calpol could work, little blighters just won't do what we want!

She is just about asleep now...still fighting it a bit

fingers crossed! You can get some well deserved sleep yourself now hopefully

My 2.5yo is in the kitchen with DH. She has a horrible 'barking' cough, it's like having an old fox in the house.

Yay she is in bed...which is where I am heading

Well done you!
Happy sleeping!
