2. My teaching
With Grace I am fierce about everything, I can not seem to relax about anything! Food, allergies, asthma, sleep, potty, clothing, hair, manners, learning, I think about all that constantly.. As I'm sure most mothers do too. ( I hope ). Anyways during Christmas break our sleep schedule got all out of wack, we laid with her to fall asleep, we rocked to sleep, we let her pass out in the car, and the worst one was watching tv and movies in her room till she was asleep. The movies were great at first.. Sleep timer for thirty minutes and she was out.. Then it turned into an hour, then we started hearing " mamma, back up my movie!" oh my goodness we realized we had a problem the night she watched "Annie" twice all the way through.. And was still up!!! So, my wonderful husband brought me back to "momma's in charge" mode. He reminded me of my own words, that we didn't need to create a crutch for a child that has never needed anything but a quiet room and a soft blanket to get to sleep. So back to bedtime routine we went Sunday night. 7 :30pm came along and we started her music sat with her for about five minutes until she was relaxed, gave kisses, and said our safe words " we'll check on you in just a minute" and she did just fine. Its Tuesday and she went down easy. She also had a great day at school. She's been having quite a few accidents at school the last few days because of the bad constipation and then because of the laxatives.. But we had a no accident day today! Woo hoo! I bet it's because of the good nights sleep!
