I love love LOVE seeing all my hard work & patience pay off. OK.. I might be speaking a little too early here
LOL.. but still
Kayla just put herself to sleep on our bed!! Hopefully no more rocking to sleep! I've known recently that rocking to sleep was starting to not work anymore, it was becoming a bit of a battle. But I've been reluctant to move to the next step, which I thought was going to be me lying down on the bed with her... because I always fall asleep and then I miss out on my ME time!
LOL. I had tried this before btw.. but that became a battle too, so I knew she wasn't quite ready. But I knew we were transitioning to something soon!
Anyway last night I'd just had it. I'd been rocking her while watching TV and it was just taking forever. She was so darn tired, was crying and was cranky, I just said that's it.. go to bed. She did cry last night.. but.. she stayed in the bed (which gave me hope!) and I ended up just getting ready for bed and going to bed with her.. she then slept through from 11ish to nearly 7am!! (yay!!)
Then for her sleep just now I figured I'd put her straight to bed after a feed. She got up a fair bit, but soon as i went in there she knew to lie down again (cheeky girl). Then I got her a toy to hold onto.. and she played with it for a bit and went to sleep! Woohoo! No battle.. just a bit of patience
(checking on her every few minutes and getting her to lie down).. and most importantly... NO TEARS!
My hopes are up soooo high that she's going to keep this up..
LOL. But I'm going to enjoy it for now anyway
YAYAYAYAYAY!
