If I Scream, They Will Come

Sleep? Clearly, you must be joking.

We are not too sure what is going on, but it's possible that little miss Bea has:

1) Some horrible nightmares
2) Bad anxiety in not being with us
3) Mastered the skill in making us completely miserable
4) All of the above?

When you are awoken from the deepest sleep to hear your child screaming bloody murder (several times a night, might I add), you definitely want to console them. After a week of this, you want to throw a pillow over your head. Granted, the girl was sick for a while, so it was fine during that time. Ever since Sunday (Father's Day) when we put her down for the night, she decided that she just didn't want to go to sleep yet. And, being that it was Father's Day, Josh was like "I just want to cuddle with her and console her." Yes, my friends, he must have gotten her 5 times that night. I'm starting to wondering if that was the beginning of the end for us. She now knows that if she screams, we will come. I told Josh that if he wants to get her, fine, but I am just not budging anymore. Believe it or not, Josh has actually slept through the screaming a few times, where she will cry for about 10 minutes and fall asleep on her own.

I'm not too sure what our plan is moving forward, but all I can say is that I am SO thankful that Olivia doesn't wake up through it all and is sleeping well. I'm probably jinxing myself with saying it.

Another thing is that I wonder if the girl is getting her molars and is just in pain. I'm not sure.

I will bow down to the heavens when I once again receive at least six hours of solid sleep. Otherwise, Josh mentioned to me in an email this morning that we should tape her screams and send them to the Hollywood studios to make some money off of her. Not too bad of an idea, honey! That could actually pay for a nighttime nanny so we could get some rest!

Night night little one and sleep well...(yeah, right!)
