A Tale of Two Mamas

Trying to keep someone IN timeout

I spoke too soon…

We had a rough night last night. Grammy went to bed easily and without event at around 8:00. I forced myself to go to bed just before 10, and fell asleep quickly. At 11, we heard Graem start stirring, and slowly start to cry. Shawna went down to change her and give her a bit of bottle, and I followed shortly after, thinking that it wasn’t working. I was overzealous and didn’t give Shawna enough time, and by that point, it was too late to convince Graem to take the bottle. So I nursed and rocked her back to sleep, and then transferred her to the crib. Once in the crib, Graem decided that it was time to sit up and play and say, Cat! a lot. I said goodnight and went upstairs, but Graem started to cry. I tried to wait it out as long as i could, then went back down when I couldn’t stand it any longer. This time I tried giving her some Tylenol/cold medicine (she has a cough/snotnose due to teething again), then went back upstairs. Finally after more crying, I decided I couldn’t take it any more and brought her back to bed–it was almost midnight by then. I figure that she’s able to fall asleep in the crib by herself now, and I’m convinced that she can sleep continuously for almost the entire night if she’s comfortable. She’s got a cold and isn’t comfortable, and thus isn’t happy in the crib. I think she’ll get over it.
