Screaming and crying that there are big scary monsters behind the window. And it's tearing me up inside that he might really be scared as he cries himself to sleep. It makes me so sad and also frustrated because we no longer know what to expect when we lay our heads down on our pillows. Will we be woken up or will he sleep through the night? Who knows.<br><br>Anyway, your blog is one of my favorites. Just keep writing. Keep putting it out there. Keep forging ahead. As if we had any other choice, right?mollyhttp://www.adayinmollywood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775059803665454920.post-67383699842848136332011-06-10T05:54:56.000-05:002011-06-10T05:54:56.000-05:00Hopefully her screaming has stopped and will NOT r...Hopefully her screaming has stopped and will NOT return. The fact she got up and told you what she did, and why! Oh my gosh, if it were me, my mouth would've hit the floor and I would've been speechless. ANGRY, FURIOUS and LIVID, so much so, I would've lost all ability to speak. And don't feel too badly about cursing at her - lack of sleep made you do it. Lack of sleep so lovingly given to you BY HER.

And, he plays in his bed for HOURS every night before falling asleep. i've given up trying to force him to go to sleep earlier. it's just not worth it.

Only without the benefit of that adorable baby. I've been thinking of YOU guys -- love the new hair!! I was just over at your place, I came in through my email & when I do that I can't comment for some reason. Anyway, the hair is gorgeous, as is your baby bump. Solo isn't too bad, either ;) That smile of his is going to get you into trouble!Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775059803665454920.post-22369592566115271842011-06-12T15:42:56.000-05:002011-06-12T15:42:56.000-05:00Letting them cry themselves to sleep is something ...Letting them cry themselves to sleep is something that has never been easy for me. Only since Sarah started this hot mess have I done it. Major suckage. I hope Landon works his worries out -- have you tried 'monster spray'? You can order it online OR you can make your own - spray bottle, water, some sort of essential oil that you like the smell of. He decorates the bottle and names it. Then you spray it each night to get rid of the monsters. NOW, there are 2 schools of thought w/ this. 1: it reinforces that there are, indeed, monsters or 2: it gives the child control over the thing they are scared of and an 'out' to get over it. And yes we tried it. No, it didn't work. :) <br>And thank you for the compliment. I've been reading you for over a year and hearing you say that . . huge smile over here. You telling your story encouraged me to keep telling mine.
