Three weeks ago I gave birth to a little baby girl. We have always had a special routine in our home. At bedtime I have never had a problem getting my 4 year old and 5 year old daughters to bed. Now it takes over an hour and a half to get my 4 year old to go to bed. We have been keeping the same routine, however, she will no longer go to bed. She finds any excuse to get out of bed. She will say she has to go potty... she goes just prior to going to bed, she will claim that she needs a drink from the drinking fountain... she has a sippy cup of water by her bed. She will try to get every little stuffed animal she can in bed with her, even though she knows she can only have one. She will cry for a special blanket, every night she wants a different blanket. It's horrible. I haven't had any trouble with my 5 year old daughter. Could this be a way of acting out because of the new baby? Or is this normal for a 4 year old to do this? My older daughter never did this.
