Sleeping problems persist

June 2nd, 2009

Ella was doing well for awhile sleeping in her bed. And she still sleeps in there for naptime, but it’s been about a week since she stayed the night in there. Oh well, at least she goes to sleep in our bed. And by that I mean she’s not up doing who knows what. I’ve found her in various states in her own room including:

  1. Completely in the buff.
  2. Moving all her stuffed animals from her big toy basket to her bed.
  3. Asleep on the floor.
  4. And lastly, once last week, I checked on her and she wasn’t there! My heart about stopped – but luckily I quickly realized right where she’d be … in our bed.

So, anyway, we’re having a nice week. It’s raining but I love it. I think we’ll go to the mall today and spend some time walking and at the carousel.

I finally bought a calendar for my purse and just wrote a bunch of plans and to-do lists in it. Currently I have a work calendar that I carry in my laptop bag, but it’s too big for my purse. Then I have a calendar in my kitchen for my personal plans, then I have a random to-do list I stuff in a pocket or my purse some days. Not very organized. And I’ve missed more hair appointments than I care to say. So, I think this new medium calendar for my new purse (just ignore that part honey!) will be a good solution. Isn’t my life exciting?

    A new purse is always exciting! That’s such a cute story about her PJs (or lack thereof) and her own bed. Good luck.

    Oh, dear! Sounds like sleep will be an issue for years to come for us. And here we thought a baby was difficult! At least she wasn’t moving all her stuffed animals to your bed in the buff…

    I love Steve’s princess room. It really suits him.

    Hey Erin, just catching up on your blog. Riley has been in a non sleep in his bed mode for about 6 months. First is started where he’d be wandering around in our house getting into trouble (he can open doors) and Nick has found him in the fridge, coloring, watching tv, you name it all at 3 AM. So for a while we were locking him in his room at night for safety reasons, cuz he likes to go outside when we aren’t looking. Now, we have convinced him that he needs to come find Mommy and Daddy if he wakes up in the middle of the night, he wants to come into our bed. Last night we had a huge thunderstorm, and when we went to bed, we found him in the middle of the living room floor asleep. Wandering kids is always fun, I’ve found riley asleep and soaked cuz he took off his diaper then went back to bed. I hope this is short lived for you, good luck :):):):):)
