Riley's Big Girl Room Blues Update
Let's see where we are starting at....
Day one: night time- crying, soothed by mom and dad, did fine
Day two: night time- cried behind door for 1 hour before falling asleep behind the door
Day three: first nap, played for 1hr 45 min-even when mom took all toys out of the room!
Day three: night time-cried five min. fell asleep behind door
Day four: nap time-mom got down to business, fell asleep at 1 hr 45 min, sitting next to her bed, ignoring her and putting her back in everytime she got up.
Day four: night time-cried for 30 min? can't remember, before falling asleep behind door
Day five: nap time-dad sat in her door way for over 2.5 hours, she sat on bed, never fell asleep.
Day five: night time-fell asleep on way home, layed her right in bed!
Now we are up to date!
Day six: nap time-mom sat in door way, Riley didn't cry or try to get down...for 20 min...big step though! when she did i just had to give her "the look" and she ran right back and got it. After two hours of her rolling around on the bed, not getting down but not sleeping either, i threatened her with a shut door if she didn't stay laying down. So of course she sat up and i shut the door-thinking she would just play and i was giving in :( (in my defense i figured it had already been 2 hours of her on the bed, so she got some kind of a rest) She actually just cried behind the door for about 30-45min more and then fell asleep behind the door! So she was way passed her nap time and it totally ran into bed time, but i'm just excited that we are making progress and that she obviously knew not to play during her nap time
Day six: night time- SUCESS! She didn't cry or try to get down, right to bed, josh even went in to cover her up and she was still awake, she didn't cry then either..YAYYYYYYY!
Today i'm at work so i don't get to do the nap thing, but tomorrow, i'm going to try to just tell her it's nap time, lay her down, tell her not to get down etc. shut the door and see if she plays or cries behind the door...hopefully she will know not to play! Just glad to report it is SLOWLY getting better...i think we are making some good progress....
Mini "beast" update
i dont' have too much to report, i think i might of been having some slight contrations since saturday??? i can't decide if my body is just a little achy and spreading out more or if they are in fact some contractions? Today i'm deciding more that they really might just be! I do have an appointment tomorrow so i'll post what the dr has to say :) Feeling good, some days i can't wait to meet this baby, other days i feel so overwhelmed and want the baby to stay in for a while longer :)
I'm glad there has been some progress...It always feels good to know your efforts are working! Can't wait to find out if the Beast is a boy or a girl...I can't believe it's so close!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! Progress is progress. I have been eager to see how things were going! She'll get it quickly at this point I think. She is a smart girl and once they know you mean business and it's not changing they will give in.
