Sleep Training - Night 1

Sariah is awful at going to sleep. She used to be great, but that ended when she could climb out of her crib, and didn't change after we put her in her toddler bed. It's been a constant struggle, and would rather sleep on the floor next to her sister, then sleep in her bed. But, the two of them won't stop playing. It's not good for Naomi because she's always been one to go to bed early, (unless she took a really late nap)but has a hard time falling asleep, because her sister wants to play. So, now that things are settled, I have decided to stay with her in her bed, until she falls asleep.

It started out w/ MUCH screams and wailing. You'd think I was torturing her. Well, in her mind I probably was, because she wasn't w/ her sister. Eventually she finally stopped screaming, but I had to put my head down next to her so she could squeeze my neck. After an hour, I was getting stiff and sore, and had to go to the bathroom, so I told her I'd be back. Yep, she was still awake. I went in to check on Naomi and SHE was out cold. So, in my attempt to get one to sleep the other fell asleep. I didn't go back, but 20 minutes later Sariah is finally asleep. This is going to be long and torturous for me.

Stay tuned for updates.
