Yes, but . . .

Last night went shockingly well! I just knew my determined Little Pumpkin would not stand for this new routine . . . She amazed me! Climbing right up into her new toddler bed and getting under the covers, cuddling up with her blanket and not even asking for a pacifier! I left the room just knowing we would hear from her shortly.

After about 45 minutes, Daddy Lion went in to check on her . . . I followed closely behind. Silence! Sweet slumber was all we found. That was the case the entire night! I never heard a peep until about 10 'til 7am. She was crying a bit, but still laying on her bed.

So where does the "but" come in?!? NOW!!! It's been about 20 minutes and she is still in there crying. She knows where the pacifiers are stashed (when not lost on the other side of her bed); so even though she has no "word" for them, she is pointing to the drawer crying . . .

It may end up being the long battle I expected after all! *frown*

  1. I'm so sorry to hear that. It sounds like Colin alot. I ended up cutting the tip of his and giving it back to him. He held the broken plug for awhile and finally was done with that also.

  2. Oh, bummer... But, she made it all night! That's awesome!

    Maybe you can just sign and say "all done" every time she points to the drawer or cries for them.

    Hope it got better throughout the day! :-)
