Well, last night when Matt laid Maddy down for bed she started to cry immediately. I was in the process of changing into workout clothes and well... I got back into my regular clothes, went up and rocked her. After about a 1/2 hour I laid her back down and she started to cry, again. So this time I just told her goodnight and went to wash my face/brush my teeth for bed since I knew it would be tough. Matt wound up going in and then laying her down again after I got back. She cried a bit and yelled. She knocked on the wall. We just kept telling her 'Goodnight!' 'We're right here!' She finally went to sleep on her own within 5-7 min.
I went to bed right when she did. About an hour and a half later, she was up crying again. So from 10:45-1:15 I tried different things.. rocking her, laying with her in our bed (I kicked Matt out to the spare room), laying on her bedroom floor while she was in her crib. She loved to rock and lay in bed with me, but she wasn't falling asleep and seemed uncomfortable. She cried even though I was in the room with her while she was in her crib. I think, finally, she was so exhausted that she fell asleep while I rocked her and she accepted going into her crib to sleep. She was up at 6:45 this morning.
So needless to say, we aren't going to her class today. I am going to my class tonight though and am really looking forward to it. Matt asked for tips on how to get her to sleep and all I could say was, "Well, it took me 2+hours both nights for me to do it, so there aren't any tips from me!"
Well, I need to get a few things done today. I want to wash sheets this afternoon (only after a nap).
Matt was really nice and he went to Target for me after work to pick up different cold/sinus meds for us adults--because you know one of us are going to get this cold. He said all the children's meds were out of stock, so something is going around, obviously. He also bought new PJs for me and a toy kitty for Maddy. I've seen this toy a few times, but it's on the expensive side so I never bought it. Maddy loves it though and daddy enjoyed getting it for her.
Have a great day!
