Holding it...

Sage loves to stay up with us - so long as the couch is available. If she can't get her way she puts herself to bed. If this happens before 8pm, we've gotten to the point where she has a hard time holding it all night, so I reluctantly have begun waking her up before I go to bed to send her outside so I don't get a 4am wake up call. This seems to be working well. She's ready to go at 7am, but that's better than 4. Moral? Let her on the couch?
