Sleep Sleep Sleep, Why is it so complicated?

| August 14, 2015

As you all know, Sam has the WORST sleep habits. I have to stay with her until she falls asleep, she is always in our bed at some point during the night. Ugh. For the last week I have been trying to not stay with her for the falling asleep part. I promised her I’d come back and check on her, and I did, after about 5 minutes the first night (she was awake), 10 minutes the second night (she was almost asleep) and 10 minutes the third night (she was sleeping)! It has been one week of her going to sleep on her own, and she didn’t even give me a hard time about it, surprisingly. Let’s see if it lasts…

 

Update – yeah, as expected, it didn’t last. She slept in a sleeping bag down the shore with Krista and Adam, but being away from our home routine kind of ruined the whole thing. She is back to asking me to stay. Sigh. 09/10/2015
