Yes, we're still having problems with Sarah sleeping. And yes, I'm writing about it again.
We've taken her to a therapist now, it's that bad.
She has a special music CD that thankfully is helping block out sounds and we've rearranged our home because evidently she's hearing every little thing, including the TV. And NCIS isn't exactly kid friendly.
Her nightlight bulb has been switched out for a blue bulb, which doesn't produce the energy that white light does. And the fight that entailed there? Ugh.
She still takes melatonin.
She still cries.
She still wakes up at a pin drop. Seriously. She just woke up when a coin hit the floor as I walked downstairs.
But, she stayed in her bed all night last night. I cannot remember the last time that happened.
I feel good about the noise blocking CD, and the fact that we've moved where we watch TV at night. So, we'll see. We shall see.
Good luck . . . fortunately, while I have two kids who would medal if they ever made "sleep avoidance" an Olympic sport, they generally sleep well.
ReplyDeleteMaybe something else? Like one of those humidifiers with the little light? I know I love the sound of it. But at least it seems like progress has been made from this. For the record, Ava has like 10 stuffed animals on the bed turning her full into something the size of a cot. She's a nut.
