KB and I are settling into a sleep routine that works for all parties. I read a couple books, talked to some parents, tried a couple things, and finally figured it out.
During a really long week of sleepless nights I let KB cry in her crib. After 20 minutes or so, I realized that the only reason I was letting KB cry was because someone told me I should. That wasn't good enough. I went and picked up my sweet girl, calmed her down and never looked back.
I know my daughter. I know my husband. I know that sometimes I complain too much and need an attitude adjustment. We still have long nights. I still struggle with sleeping some nights. The important part is that I got back in touch with my confident mama side and told myself to quit whining. I know there are a few (or more) people that disagree with the way we do night time. This isn't about them. I have my confident side up and know that Mr. Llama, KB and I will figure out this night routine together.
And now it's nap time.... :)
