We moved house recently and dd (almost 3) went from cot to cot bed with bed guard. Had one or two iffy nights and then she was fine... for about 2 weeks. Now she makes up any possible excuse for me to go back in to the bedroom after she's been put to bed, she needs her nose wiping, she wants water, she needs a poo (but never does one), she's done a wee in her pull up, etc etc. She's just delaying going to sleep as long as she can. She is still making the odd winging noise now as I type! She's been such a good sleeper since she was about 10 months old, why this sudden change?! She also wakes in the night if she can't sort her quilt out... I'm wondering if she could be having bad dreams but she's never mentioned anything to me. I don't know what's going on.
Also her behaviour has become very challenging lately. She is very defiant and her most commonly used phrases are 'I want...' 'I'm still hungry' 'nnnnnno!' 'Why?' and ' I don't want to'. She seems to be constantly pushing boundaries and it is exhausting.
On top of all this I'm a single parent and dd's father is a pain in the arse, which probably doesn't help her behaviour... christ she's just started winging again and saying she wants mummy...its nearly 11pm and she's not been to sleep yet!!
