I know that most of you reading this do not care, but for journaling sake, I must post again.
It has only been about a week since Emma's new sleep routine started and the changes are AMAZING! She has clocked in 3 nights in a row now of not waking up once!!
I can't believe what a difference I have noticed in myself just getting that extra couple hours of good sleep in my own bed:) I am a more patient mommy and Emma is a happier little girl!
And not only has her nighttime sleeping improved but her naps are longer and much less of a struggle, plus she is waking up HAPPY! In the past she often woke up from naptime VERY cranky... I wasn't sure the changes would stick at Nana's house because Emma knows how much her Nana loves to take naps with her, but on the first try she went to sleep right away and slept for 2 1/2 hours!!:) Mommy was proud and Nana was impressed;D
Another plus is that RJ and I again have our time together to chat, play cards, or catch up on a few of our favorite shows before turning in at night. (When battling Emma to go to sleep, we lost a lot of this precious time and I often fell asleep waiting for her to nod off:)
I do NOT have any regrets about the times spent snuggling with our little girl, but we knew it was time. I miss the extra snuggles.. but I am loving our newfound sleep routine!!!
