We Now Know

As I mentioned before, when you are sick, sometimes there are things that are comforting and make you feel better. For Bea, that was the sofa and perhaps, Josh or myself. Her saying "no" while we attempt to put her in her crib can only mean one thing...that she is not feeling well.

The last two nights when we did the attempt after the nightly routine, she went down without a peep...completely on her own. Josh and I did a silent high-five.

However, she is getting up once now in the middle of the night. It's really only light cries and whimpering, not full blown screams. We are moving her to the couch for the remainder of the night so that she doesn't wake up her sister (her sister is waking up anyway, darn it, at 4:30 am the last two nights...not sure if it is connected with Bea being back in the room or not).

Thank heavens we at least get her in there for half the night. I'm sure it is not too far off until she stays in there all night long, and that, my friends, is when I will sing Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" over and over and over the next morning.
