I have a 4 year old daughter and I find it amazing when she learns to do anything new. I remember when she learned to walk, we did not prompt her or try to get her to do it, she was just propping herself up on the edge of the sofa and my wife was sitting on the other side of the room.
All of a sudden she just looked at my wife turned and staggered over to her all on her own. Both of use were in shock.
So, my little one is 3 and a half weeks old now and she seems to be nocturnal. WHY can she not be awake during the day, and not the period between 11pm and 7am?

You know I read stuff like this all the time and I guess I am in the Minority.
Our little girl is now 4 and unless she is actually Ill she sleeps right through the night without problem and always has.
We have never had the whole up and down all night that a lot of seem to people complain of
We had this our first - daddies girl. She didn't sleep through until she was nearly 4, but the two younger boys (23 months and nearly 4 years) go down and stay down.
Our first had no problems sleeping through the night since she was a few weeks old (with the exception of a few months after her brother was born), but the boy (2+) still gets up a couple of times during the night, and now that he's in his terrible twos he also throws a tantrum if he doesn't get what he wants.
Oh do I know what that's like.
Even though she's 4 ours is still like that, and of course nobody believes us because if she goes to someone elses house or someone comes here she instantly becomes the sweetest little girl on the planet.
But we have evidence of her evilness:
She is also a master manipulator, we are lucky enough to live in an area where you can just let your kids run around in the street without any worry of anything happening to them. For the reason given above everyone in our area thinks she is just great and gives her things like cookies or candy or potato chips all the time.
I actually kept track one day and she would go knock on one persons door and talk to them really sweet for a couple of minutes until they fell for her charms and gave her something, she would then stand there babbling away to them for as long as it took to eat it and then she would say goodbye and go back to play.
5 minutes later she would repeat the whole process again at someone elses house and she would keep going until either we stopped her or she ran out of houses of people she knew. (which is actually the entire street at the front of our house plus the entire street at the back as well. So about 20 houses)

Society's to blame,
Or possibly Atari.
Our daughter, now 7, never had the terrible twos, Our sons? One just emerging from them, aged 4 and one just entering, aged nearly 2.
YES! It is sooo much better when you can actually interact a little - my darling daughter (she's been good today) is just over 3 months, and it was great fun having a week off and spending some time playing with her - compared to paternity leave when it was either crying or sleeping!
