Sleep Troubles

Natalie has not wanted to go to bed the last 3 nights. She just refuses to get into bed, gets out if you put her, opens her door if you close it.  So that Lexi can fall asleep without screaming from next door, we have let Natalie stay up until we go to bed.  She doesn't act tired at all.

Last night, when it was time for us to go to bed, I took her to her room and then blocked the door so she couldn't open it. She was so incredibly mad at me. She did finally lie down - crying - but didn't want me to put the blankets on her, touch her or turn the small heater we have in her room on. Every time I tried to do something with the heater or the blankets, there was crying again.

I think she woke up probably 4 times - about every 1-2 hours.  She would come into our room, I would take her back to her room and she would lie down. But didn't always fall asleep right away.

This morning, she has a slightly crusty nose so I am wondering if she is getting a cold and not feeling 100%.

Hoping that normal sleeping returns soon.

Hopefully this is just something she is going through and it will return to normal soon.
