Silence Is Golden


Just in case you are DYING to know if Keira got the hint and slept through the night...

Let's just say at 12:15 I woke up to screaming. I was shocked at how loud it was. I stumbled from my bed to notice Keira's door open. Then I see Larry downstairs bouncing her around in the dark while he takes in the last minutes of a "late night necessity" (Lakers...ESPN...West Coast hours). After cringing for every wail echoing through the house for another 20 minutes Keira finally gave in and settled quietly into her Dad's arms.

Well that is until he put her down.

He came to bed apologizing and saying he tried. I agreed. It was now her turn to cry it out. So for another 30 minutes Keira fought between cries and sleep. And just when I was about to call it quits she gave up and went to bed.

THANK YOU!! (a hour+ of crying past midnight was wearing on ALL of our nerves)

But here's the BEST part. Keira didn't wake up again until 5:15am!! NICE!! And I quickly went in and rewarded her by feeding her and putting her back to bed!

Hopefully tonight will be better.

P.S. Did I mention Keira fully retaliated by filling her diaper AND both pant-legs of her outfit with "#2" at the SAME TIME I was sitting down to take the first bite of my lunch at 2pm?
