Today we had to go get the car checked right when a bad storm was passing through the area. Z had a good time running around while I chased her. When we got home she ran into her "cave" and played for a few minutes. Once she became quiet I knew she was in her chair sleeping. Apparently the bed was a better choice. This balloon is apparently her new bff...for the moment.
I've been slowly trying to break myself from co-sleeping. I'm completely undisciplined and know it has to happen someday. She's been a good cuddle buddy except when she kicks me in the face. Lately she's been getting under the blanket with me to let me know it's bedtime. How do you break yourself from that? She has slept in her own bed occasionally and stayed until morning. It's all me, I admit. I have a king size bed all to myself and who else better to share with than the sweetest sweet pea I know. My goal is to be broken of this habit before we move next year. Wish me luck!
I wish you luck! While I had some hard times with co-sleeping, those times were far outweighed by the good times. It's such a beautiful experience to be able to share your sleeping space with your children. Having said that, I can understand your desire to break the habit. It's tough, but I am sending lots of wishes your way. You'll get there!
ReplyDeleteThere are more reasons why I need this habit broken for both of us. She's pretty bold about letting me know that she has full access to my room at any given moment. My problem is I don't even shut the door completely because it will upset her. It's a double-edged, codependent sword for real. I have a feeling it will break before long.
