Snug in My Bed

It is now quite apparent that my children were quite different at homecoming. I thought I would always rush in to pick up my daughter every time that she cried in her bed like I did with my son. However, last week, we entered a different mode. She had been home for over two months and had been consistently sleeping soundly in her crib during nap time and at night for a month. Suddenly she wasn't going to sleep during naps, but crying because I would come rushing in to comfort her.

For two days during afternoon nap it was torture. I went in when she cried; I helped her lay back down and I left. I think the first day I probably went in 50 or more times, the second day maybe 25. I questioned myself like I always do. It was hard. She was mad. And now she sleeps soundly during her nap times.

She snuggles into her bed with her blankie and puppy dog until she falls asleep and she is a much happier baby, and I am a much happier mom.
