On several occasions, Keatin and I have gone "swimming" in her pool. She loves doing this...and you know me, I love the sun. I am starting to work on a tan.
Small victories at bedtime last night... I bought those glow in the dark stars you stick on your ceiling and put those up before bedtime. In addition, I had bought some Elmo stickers. I talked to Keatin A LOT about being a big girl and staying in her Elmo bed...and if she went na-night without getting out of her bed, she would get a sticker. (You should have seen the acting job Josh and I were doing to build this up - the things parents do...) :) Anyways, we read a bunch of books and talked again about the sticker...turned off the lights and looked at the stars together...I sat at the foot of her bed (with the intention of moving slightly farther away each night)...and off to sleep she went! Didn't get out once, talked to herself for awhile, but was asleep within 20 minutes. And this morning...she remembered the sticker part! (Now, she woke up at midnight and 6 am...but Josh and I both decided that battle will still take time because of the no pacifier thing...so she still earned her sticker.) :)
Oh - and she did finally fall asleep yesterday at nap time...around 230...only slept for 1 hour. I think once she gets herself worked up, things go downhill fast from there. Got to stay calm...
