As I write this, I can hear G making a little wailing noise upstairs. She's started experiencing 'night terrors' - where she has a bad dream and starts crying, but is completely asleep throughout. Scary for us, but she's completely unaffected by it.
We've shortened the girls' daytime nap to just under 1.5 hours and it seems (touch wood) to have helped a bit (only a bit) with G's night waking. R could probably still do with a decent 2 hour nap in the day and tends to get more grumpy, but I don't want their routines to be out of sync with each other.
(just popped up to see the girls - G had lost her beloved doggy and managed to wake a slightly confused R up. Doggy found and now safely in G's arms. They both seem fine..for now...)
Weirdly, the new environment seems to be wearing them out. They have so much more space to run around in now and although we're still taking the girls out and about every day they aren't at nursery, they seem to really want to nap and sleep. I wonder if G was disturbed by our old next door neighbour - she's such a light sleeper that I wouldn't be surprised. Their new room isn't joined on to another house so hopefully that will help as well.
R is pretty much the perfect sleeper anyway and always has been. G is more of a challenge (to put it mildly), but we'll get there with her.
