Mya is VERY insistent that we get up between 6am and 7am. Perfect for when I am working.. but I am on holidays darn it, and I just wanna sleep till 8! lol... She sleeps in her xpen right near my bed, has food, water and toys, and it's covered in pee pads and newspaper. I kinda think that once it gets a little bit light out she can see me, and cries because she wants me. When I got Ollie he was 1.5 (ish) and while he did wake me up too, not this early. He'd stop too if I ignored him long enough and go back to sleep. Mya, on the other hand.. omg. It's like something is in that xpen is trying to kill her. I'm afraid she'll wake up the whole neighborhood and someone will call the SPCA saying I'm abusing her, lol. Oliver stopped waking me up once I let him sleep with me.. but Mya is too young to start that, I don't think I'll let her until she's 6 months or so, depending on how much she grows. She seems to be able to hold it 7 hours at night, as she doesn't go in her pen at all that I can tell.

I'm ok with getting up early for now. I'd just like to hear from others that this will get better and she'll sleep longer. Even Oliver is looking at her like please be quiet, it's too early.. lol. I've tried ignoring it because I do want her to learn that we get up when I say we get up... but I only last like 5 minutes and just have to get her, she gets louder and louder. I get migraines if I don't sleep enough, so I guess I'll have to try going to bed earlier and hope that she still makes it to 6:30 ish.

Please tell me it gets better! Lie if you have to, lmao.
