There was nothing I could do for him, because there was only ONE thing he wanted and that was his bottle. So we pretty much traded one vice for another and he has taken to sleeping in our bed on our chest. UGH. Since Sloan is the one who always puts him to bed, however, Ward falls asleep on him and he puts him in his crib. Later he'll wake up and I'll take him out and bring him into bed with us. HOWEVER we recently discovered that Ward hates it when Sloan has stubble and would rather get in his crib than try to cuddle him if his face is scratchy. So, things have gotten pretty lumberjack around here for that very reason.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364857342418113026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-17143318956095965992013-01-24T22:19:55.037-08:002013-01-24T22:19:55.037-08:00Recently, our 2 1/2 year old keeps waking up in th...Recently, our 2 1/2 year old keeps waking up in the night and wants to sleep with us. (A big no-no at our house) the only way we've found to soothe her back to sleep is to walk her through the house house and whisper about all the things that are night-night. Then we talk about how the sun is night-night and that when the sun wakes up she can wake up and play. So far it's worked like a charm. We put her back to bed, turn on her seahorse nightlight sound thingy, kiss her, and walk out. Hopefully you can find a way that works!

Of holding a puking baby over the sink while I puke in the toilet. Of hearing an emergency siren in the night and being glad it wasn't my baby. Luckily I also remember the sweetness of babies who kiss you. Of knowing you are important to someone. Of all the funny things they say and do. Of the sense of pride they bring you. Of knowing you will walk across broken glass to keep them safe. And that you will give anything in the world to have them close, always.MARCIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01239774105939045673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-64081032012466013282013-01-24T05:14:17.477-08:002013-01-24T05:14:17.477-08:00My boys are almost three and we haven't master...My boys are almost three and we haven't mastered the "puke bowl" thing. If they're sick I usually sleep in their room on the floor so I can hear them...they usually sit up when they need to be sick. It's a restless night, but less laundry in the end.<br /><br />My boys have "lovies" to help them sleep. E. has a flannel blanket and M. has a little baby which helped the transition when we tossed the pacifiers.<br /><br />Good luck!B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09998835399458250830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376105108093150009.post-36451021235237223442013-01-24T03:35:38.209-08:002013-01-24T03:35:38.209-08:00For moments like this, I have found that gentle s...For moments like this, I have found that gentle singing and rocking in a glider has helped calm the hysterical moments in the night, or even before bedtime. I decided to wean off bottles at a year as the close of BF came. We are dealing with Night Terrors right now, but going with a little CIO until I may enter her room. Keep plugging through it and trying different coping skills.Yolo Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895972607769416828noreply@blogger.com
