Sleeping issues...


Izzy's been having issues sleeping, as anyone I talk to regularly will tell you. Or maybe I've already blogged about....I can't remember anymore. ANYway....she's essentially been sleeping in our bed since somewhere before Thanksgiving. She must've had a nightmare at some point, then she threw up in bed shortly after that, and she is terrified of it since.

It hasn't been worth the effort since then to try to get her back in bed. She'd start phyiscally shaking and shreiking whenever we went near it, so we decided to just get through this period and try when we were on vacation. Well, we're on vacation, and we're trying, but I can't really report "success" yet. We've had 2 of the last 3 nights where she's slept in bed until 6:30 or 7:30am (which is HUGE) but GETTING her to sleep is taking sometimes 1-2 hours. She's certainly used to falling asleep in our bed, and we've been trying to break that first by rocking her in her room. Unfortunately, our little Izzy is an incredibly light sleeper, and wakes up as soon as we get out of the rocking chair. But we aren't giving up. She's in her bed right now, snoring. Let's hope it stays that way tonight :)
