Crib or Bust

Maci is a silly one who seems to have a need to touch me almost at all times, especially at night.  I decided yesterday 10/16 to try putting her in her crib during nap time to see how it would go.  I figured that she may sleep better if she couldn't smell or hear me.  When I put her down she started to wake up a little bit so I put my hand on her stomach and just stood there for a minute, she then went to sleep.  I woke her up after she had been sleeping for 3 HOURS!  That is a long time for my little girl.  I got a nap too, which I really needed...BAD!  Thank you Maci for letting mommy nap.

Napping 10/16/10

Napping 10/16/10

Nap time went so well that I decided to try again for bedtime.  I took her into her room at about 11pm after she had been sleeping for about 30 minutes.  As soon as I put her down she woke up.  I didn't say anything to her, just picked her up and rocked/bounced her for a couple of minutes in the dark until she fell asleep again.  I put her down and she didn't wake up to eat until 3am.  3:30am I put her back in her bed, again had to put my hand on her for her to stay asleep.  I didn't hear anything from her again until about 6:15am.  This time I changed her diaper then fed her and put her back in her bed at about 7am.  It wasn't until I was hearing her talk to herself at 9:30am that I went and got her up.  Watch the video and see what she thought about her big girl bed.
