Our first had a bunch of minor issues that made her a nightmare sleeper til we got her sleep trained at 8 months. Even that wasn't easy since they have different expectations for mom vs dad so I had to keep running home from work to put her down for a nap which was an annoying couple of weeks, but it was qorth it because ever since she sleeps 12 hrs a night and if she does wake up she just quietly goofs around in her crib. I guess that's to even out the hell the first 8 months were lol, but now that she's approaching 3 she's started stalling any time we need her to do anything.

Kid #2 has no medical issues that we've found yet, she just hates to go to sleep. She goes full on Super Saiyan every damn time we turn out the lights and absolutely nothing calms her down, we just have to wait til she's done and go from there. Fucking exhausting.

The thing I keep in the back of my head is that each challenge is only temporary. You get new ones at each stage, but at least when one is hell I know it's not permanent and I just need to survive til it ends.
