After nearly 18 months of sheer hell getting Elizabeth to go to sleep, and after nearly a week of the most hellish time I have ever had as a parent
SHE WENT TO SLEEP HAPPILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will come back in later to explain it all, but for now I just want to bask in the fantastic feelings I have right now. It went like this
2 stories + kiss goodnight and then - she rolled over and went to sleep cuddling her sea horse! No screaming, no crying for boobies she just snuggled in and drifted off .
Might be small for some, but this is a massive achievement for us both and a step in the direction back to sanity for meeeeeeee!
and OM! Cai, I was a bit worried about tonight since I gave myself a night off from it last night - I was expecting to start all over again (Crouching Toddler Hidden Dragon etc), but NO!
Thanks for your support there Cailin, it was breaking me, thank you for reinforcing what I felt to be true in my heart, and for those little tips that only faeries could know....
Congratulations Lulu! What a lovely feeling it must have been... after the initial shock Hopefully bedtime is a peaceful time for you guys from here on in!
