So when bedtime rolls around, I take her upstairs and we do the bedtime ritual, and if she needs a drink before bed, she gets that drink in Mommy or Daddy's lap in the rocking chair in her room.<br /><br />I've found it's a good way to associate bedtime as being an absolute...when it's time to sleep, there's no TV.<br /><br />I've also found, as a result, my kid will watch TV for an astounding 10 minutes tops. She's definitely not a TV kind of girl...she wants to be doing something all the time.Xarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153088513567525516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-67693793949600733262010-05-19T09:24:48.625-05:002010-05-19T09:24:48.625-05:00Hehe.
I got lucky with Marianne...she'd usual...Hehe.<br /><br />I got lucky with Marianne...she'd usually drink her bottle, pass out in my lap, I'd put her down, she'd fuss while she got settled and off she went.<br /><br />The times I had to leave her to CIO I would wind up Mr. Giraffe...and usually she'd listen to him and go to sleep.<br /><br />Later I'd sneak in and find her hugging him.<br /><br />SO. ADORABLE.<br /><br />Now most nights are CIO, because Marianne knows that when story is finished and I turn off the light I'm gonna walk out of the room, so she'll start crying beforehand.<br /><br />The longest I've had to let her cry is 20 minutes.<br /><br />It's hard, but it MUST BE DONE, or she will NEVER sleep by herself.Xarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153088513567525516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-78450241431308403442010-05-18T12:33:14.026-05:002010-05-18T12:33:14.026-05:00Hahaha, SO cute!!!Hahaha, SO cute!!!aleelavinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872927696642565494noreply@blogger.com
