Today I officially want to give up on sleep training!!!!!!!
I have been trying to sleep train (get the babies to go to sleep on their own when I lay them in their cribs awake) for about 2 weeks now. Peyton has been successful and I just lay him down give him his paci and he goes to sleep. Olivia is another cup of tea. She is able to stand in her crib so immediately after I lay her down she rolls over and stands up. She will just stand and look around for awhile or sit down and play with her blanket... but then she falls down hits her head on the crib or just decides that she is not sleeping so she screams. Peyton sleeps through it but I can tell that he is not getting the best sleep because he is whiny!
I have tried everything from singing, reading, allowing her to cry, and just going in laying her down and walking out... it does not work and I can not just sit there and let her cry. The battle is over and I lost! But actually I think that we both won because she goes to sleep easier, quicker, and on schedule... and I am not stressed at nap and bedtimes.
I have one more week of teaching summer school and then the summer is mine! HAHAHA... These babies are into everything and they divide and conquer... one goes into the kitchen and the other goes down the hall. We bought one baby gate to block the kitchen off they are also pulling up on everything (and falling). I wish we could have a room filled with nothing but pillows... it is so hard to protect two babies from themselves!
??????? Question of the week ?????
How many times can a baby hit their head before there is actual damage?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Life is good.... Everyone asks ... do the babies talk to each other? YES all the time! It is so awesome to watch them grow everyday!
PS... we left the babies in the church nursery for the first time yesterday. They did not even know we were gone!
