We are making progress on the sleep drama... its not perfect but its working a million times better than being awake from 2-5 in the morning every morning.
After searching for a week for a crib tent we gave up on that and decided we needed to do something else. We tried the pack and play, we tried letting her sleep in a different room and even tried letting her sleep with us but nothing worked particularly well.
So finally I took the furniture out of her room (so she can't climb it and tip it over) and put a mattress on the floor and let her sleep there. She doesn't like it and spends 5-30 minutes each night banging on the door and throwing her body into it but eventually she falls asleep. Usually its on the floor but occasionally she makes it over to the bed.
She still wakes up at least once during the night and has to cry it out some more but I can live with that for now. Hopefully she'll adjust soon so that she doesn't freak out the new baby and wake him up at night too.

sorry you couldn't find a crib tent...we just walked into babies r us and it was there! maybe order it online. the mattress thing should work eventually our ped said that was the best way to transition then into a bed.
Weird...for some reason I haven't been getting any blog updates from you, so I just assumed you hadn't posted anything in a while. Anyways, have things gotten any better? I don't really have any other advice besides sticking to the same bedtime routine and time, not giving in to tantrums, and making sure she's not overly tired. If we put anni to bed to late or if she hasn't had her afternoon nap its a lot harder. Seems weird, but the more tired she is, the harder she is to put down.
