I need to write some things so I will remember them maybe for future use, for a laugh (or cry), or just to remember.
My little Sarah has just recently started having a hard time going to bed. Like screaming and fighting bedtime. Let me say it is just like this if it is in her bed and room. If I let her sleep on my bedroom floor she goes without a peep! We have been up countless nights with lots of crying and being mad at each other and very sleep deprived. I'm not the mom that welcomes them into my bed all the time. Once in a while if they are scared or something like that then it is okay, but not every night. I've asked her what is wrong and the only answer I get is that it is boring!!!!! Her bed is boring, sleep is boring, it is all boring :) My 34 year old mind doesn't grasp the concept of sleep being boring, haha! Anyway, her 3 year old one does and so we are clashing. She says she isn't scared she just is bored. (I hate that word by the way). She also is in tears when Ryan leaves for church meetings and or goes to work. She isn't normally like this and so I don't know what to do. We've tried bribes, Grandpa Les giving her money if she sleeps all night in her bed, which she gave back a $1 bill because that was for 2 nights and she wanted to sleep on my floor for one night so asked him for change instead! LOL!! She is so headstrong and stubborn. I keep waiting for her to grow out of this but I don't think that is going to happen. We've been praying and looking for answers. Last night finally she slept all night in her bed by herself (with Sydney in the upper bunk), and so I made her a sleep and bed chart that she gets to put stickers on and then get a little prize at the end of each week. I'm really hoping this starts us off with a week of good sleep.
