Does sick = bad bed time?

Well, its day 4 of the sickies.  We are basically over it (now just runny nose and stuffy head), but we are crabbier than ever and our bedtime seems to have moved back 3 hours.  yes, you read that right, 3 HOURS!  Two nights ago we put Sam down around 7:15 (normal) and she didn't pass out until 10. EEK!  We went up and cuddled with her after an hour of playing and eventually screaming and then FINALLY some formula (which we are trying to avoid at all costs).  We figured after all those hours of fighting to stay awake really wore her out!  :)
Day 3(Late Night 2):  Super crabby still, so we put her down maybe a 1/2 hour early.  however, she was a much bigger eater today so we figured it should be good to put her down.  I went to workout and Dad stayed in.  Came home, and Dad was upstairs reading her a book and rocking her.  Came down 1/2 hour later and she stayed up until 8:30 when I gave her more food.

Back to today.  Uuber crabby and one tired Momma.  We are going to load her up on food before putting her down in hopes it helps.  We aren't sure of the purpose because she is not necessarily cranky when put down.  In fact, she is HAPPY we put her down.

For all of you who are thinking " put her down and she will tire herself to sleep."   Well, this is NOT my child. She will stay awake for hours until what she wants is given.  She is nosy, stubborn and determined.

Kind of like her Mother...
