OK, so I haven't really created a monster but I have fostered one of Madeleine's bad habits. They are making major renovations to the exterior of our apartment. Therefore, they frequently pound on our walls with sledge hammers (or at least that is what it sounds like). All this ruckus has made nap time very difficult. So, in order to get Madeleine to take a nap, I have been letting her lay on the couch and watch Wiggles until she falls asleep. (For those of you who don't know, the Wiggles are the hot kid show from Australia. Madeleine loves the Wiggles.) And now she has to watch them every time she takes a nap. And we can't turn them off once she falls asleep.
You know how when people fall asleep watching TV and you change the channel or turn the TV off it wakes them up, and then they get upset because the were "watching" it?....She does the same thing. So while she sleeps, I have to listen to the Wiggles for an hour and a half to two hours. But at least she is asleep, and it isn't Barney she is falling asleep to.

Wendy,
Try turning the TV down a tiny bit at a time. By the time you think she should wake up, turn it off so she doesn't realize it was on at all when she napped.
