Thank you everyone...I appreciated the agreement to be honest. I only want what is best for her, and I think what is best for her is letting her be up when she wants. She was actually up from midnight until only 5 minutes ago...so 6 hours. She's sleeping, and it will be my turn for that soon. lol
I have to say though..she's a little upset that she cannot have any of her squeakers in the middle of the night, because they wake my husband up (he *does* need to sleep, he works). So she has to settle for bully sticks, chews, and non-squeaking balls. She knows right where her toys are kept and sits there and stares at her toybasket...then looks at me like..."mmmm scuse me, but you forgot some!" lol
