Bedtime

My daughter has been sleeping in my bed with me since she was born. I absolutely LOVE it, but also realize that she needs to sleep in her own room. So, for her birthday I re-did her room and got her a full size bed, re-painted her walls, put a TV in there for her, in the hopes that she would be excited about sleeping in her new "big girl" room. Well....it has been a little hard, I just can't make her go in there, the one night that I tried she had taken a really late/long nap that day, so she was not even tired. She kept crying and saying "MOMMA!! I want you in here!" and it just broke my heart. I hated it. So, after going in there and trying to calm her down about six times, I finally caved around one am and went in there and slept with her. She was much more calm and relaxed. I know it is the easy way to let her sleep with us or me sleep with her, but I just really hate to hear her cry like that. I am a wimp and can not handle it. So, I figured I would try again the next day, but then realized that Jonathan was going out of town for five days and I have just let her sleep with me since he has been gone. He comes home tomorrow, so it looks like I have some work to do this week....


On a funny note: My family and I were all out at dinner on Thursday night and Skylar was putting butter on her roll, just like all of us, and she kept licking the knife. My Mom, who is just paranoid about stuff like that, kept trying to distract her and ask her if she wanted to use a fork instead. I told my Mom a couple of times, "Mom, she is fine, quit worrying!" Mom looks at me all crazy eyed and just huffs. Mom waited a little bit then said something else to Skylar about using a fork, Skylar calmy looks at me and says, "Mom, tell Boshi(which is what she calls my Mom) that I AM FINE!" We all just looked at each other and died laughing!! This child is just me all over. So then Mom says, "Well, I guess she told me".
