I kn...Oh Jen - I am the biggest sleep sucker ever! I know how hard it is when the guilt kicks in but hang tough. I was never able to do it and I am thinking maybe Anna would still not be getting up some nights if i had been tougher but oh well - haa! Last week she came in 2 nights in a row but I just go in her bed cause Mama needs her sleep - haa! I have a new strategy for when they are bigger - we told her the Easter Bunny would not come if she came in my room - haa!<br /><br />My technique when I was pregnant and Noah was a baby was that I sent Mark in to handle the situation - haa! I am sure he just got in bed with her but at the time we were in preservation mode and did what we had to do!<br /><br />I am a sleep sucker - Noah cries out one time and I am in to get him and most nights I probably only get 5 hours sleep. But before I know it they will be out till midnight and I will be up pacing the floors - so I consider these years my training period!<br /><br />Hang tough and I am hoping for a good nights sleep for all! xoxoKimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148013185139828436.post-10547589154403794952012-04-10T18:18:25.441-04:002012-04-10T18:18:25.441-04:00Thank you for this Stephanie - definitely gives me...Thank you for this Stephanie - definitely gives me more "balls" next time to think that, yes, the little monster is capable of totally taking me for all I'm worth! :p ha ha ha.

We put Ja...I hear ya Jen on the sleeping issues :( <br />We put Jax in his big boy bed last month and my great sleeper went out with the crib! i often get a little visitor to my bed in the night now. As hard as it is, I have just been very consistent and always promptly walk him back to his room and say goodnight and leave. I have to admit, Im not very nice in the middle of the night. So Im in and out of his room and in about 30 seconds. Im also trying to make it less enticing for him to come get me in the night. <br /><br />I can imagine the mommy guilt though when she said that to you!! Awhile back, I put Jax to bed at the beginning of the night and he cried out over and over for 10 minutes- "dont leave me, Jax LOOOOOVE Mommy, dont leave me, Jax LOOOOVE mommy" Like where does he learn to say something like that, in that way?!!! <br /><br />I swear they must all convene somewhere and figure out how to manipulate us!!!! <br /><br />Hope you get more sleep tonight- stay strong and stay consistent!Stephanie Raphaelnoreply@blogger.com
