My nights lately....

10pm go to bed
11:30 pm - Morgen's crying, can't find her Binkie - up to put it back in
12:30 - JaCee fell out of bed, crying ---- console her
1am - Morgen's lost her binkie again & is crying...out of bed to put binkie back in
1:30am - JaCee is crying in my room - "I have to go potty" ... off to the potty we go!

**I am working on this with JaCee, I cannot figure out why she cries when she has to get up & go potty. I think it's because she's mad she is awake --- so my conversations are usually like this...

Me: JaCee don't cry...it's OK
JaCee: Crying as her binkie is falling out of her mouth
Me: JaCee --- stop crying...your going to wake up Morgen & then we'll have BIG trouble! And give me your binkie...your going to drop it in the potty...and why did you bring your sippy cup with you.
JaCee: Hands me her binkie & the cries are louder
Me: Putting Binkie back in --- JaCee stop crying! Why are you crying? There is nothing to cry about.

By now we're done with the potty process...and I'm walking JaCee back to her room. She is now begging to sleep with me....and this conversations lasts for a couple of minutes...we all sleep in our own beds. Morgen's in her bed, I'm in my bed, you are in your bed. You only sleep with Mommy on special occasions.

JaCee: Loud crying...I want to sleep with you!
Me: JaCee, close your eye's & if I have to come in here again because you are crying, you will be in big trouble!

2am - JaCee is back in my room again..."mommy I have to go potty again!" and...Take 2!!!!

230am - Morgen is crying - figuring she's hungry, and ready to have a bottle, up to feed her.

245am - Me, laying in bed thinking....I'm ready for a NEW stage from both girls!

Minus JaCee falling out of bed, which is her 1st and only time so far...the routine has gone just like this ...luckily I don't have to get up at 5am for work!

As I was driving today listening to PLR, one of the lady DJ's says, I'm SO tired! My "almost 2 1/2 year old is now waking up at 4am and has for over a week now." She has 2 little girls exactly the age's of mine & I had to laugh to myself...as bad as I think I have it...it could be worse!~
