No, that is not something I would say..for those of you who know me-I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to sleep. This was Isabella's mantra 2 nights ago, along with "I AM NOT GOING TO SHUT MY EYES!" Just ask me what time this was....go ahead, I dare you! IT WAS 11:45 PM!!! The kid could pull an all 'nighter' every night if she had to. I swear she is all tired out and ready for a nice long sleep and WHAM! she is wide awake and bouncing. Last night we pulled the tough love approach. I brushed her teeth, got her jammies on, read to her, and tucked her in to clean flannel sheets. She was falling for it until I got up to leave and she told me she was wanted to sleep in my bed. With that, I left the room and she cried for 2.5 hours. Screamed her bloody head off for 2.5 hours. Oh...except for the 10 minutes she escaped, got into our bed, and then called me from the upstairs phone to the downstairs one. Very funny. She was returned to bed where she continued to scream until after 11....
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! That is all I have to say......
Wow! You need some "sleep coaching" from Jen. She saved my sanity!
ReplyDeleteYou need to put her in her bed and just let her scream her little heart out. After a couple of nights she'll get the idea who's in charge. :)
Good luck!!!
I don't know how you do it.
Good for you! I'm proud of you. I know it killed you...it's never easy is it?
ReplyDeleteARGH.
...now tell me how to get my child to not throw a fit when I'm on the phone and she wants it!!!
Seems like girls can really hold out with the screaming! Stay tough...you can do it!
