So we braved it, the cot is in seven pieces in the garage and the big girl bed has been remade with some funky flanellette sheets and a splash of lime green and pink. The colour scheme eventually spread throughout the rest of the room during that week but enough of that for now.
Mum is tired. Princess enjoyed the newfound freedom just a little too much. What with the up and down up and down freedom and all. So far so good i guess. Princess had resorted back to nightwakings before the transition, i guess i kind of thought this might help, and i am thinking it might be? You see sweet dearest princess has slept through the night since she was 2 weeks old, up until about a month ago. So i am still not used to the whole getting up through the night thing, and i do LOVE MY SLEEP! At the worst she was getting up about 4 or 5 times. So i put the foot down.
Had a firm word to hubby (seeing as a partially blame the night wakings on him). No more giving her a bottle if she resists bedtime .
-i had her off bottles at 12 months
AND no more sleeping in the bed with her when she wakes up at night. This meant strength on my part to, as it meant, i actually had to get up instead of getting hubby to.
Night 1 went well. Got her to bed within 40 minutes with only 1 night waking. Woke up in the morning with princess's face covered in texta and a black sharpie point coming straight towards me. Tonight is night 2, only 20 minutes to get her to bed and, well, i can't quite tell you about the night wakings just yet, but i will tell you i went to check on her after about 10 mintues and found her drifting off to sleep in the ball pit in her cubby house. Cute, but not an acceptable form of bedding. Oh, and the bedroom? Yeah i redecorated, went with bright purple, lime green and hot pink. Updated a little babies room into a funky playspace for a toddler. Im quite proud. Other than that not much has been happening, i guess that explainss the lack of posts lately. I wouldn't want to bore you. See? im such a considerate being.
