Update

Well, my theory was incorrect. Last night, I gave Eden a healthy dose of advil and hour before bedtime. It made not a single difference. She still was impossible to deal with for the last half hour or so before bed, and getting her to bed was the usual disaster. She did sleep all night and until 7 (middle of the road time for her to wake up), but she usually does that anyway.

I'm really so, so tired of the nighttime routine. I think it is time to take drastic action and just let her cry scream it out at night. I hate the thought of doing it, and at this point, because of her age and how long this has been going on, I know it isn't going to be the simple 2-3 night fix it might have been six months ago. But really, I know it has to be done. We'll all be happier for it in the long run.
