Biiiiig sigh... Day two of bedtime crying it out. Tough to listen to my baby cry. Like, really tough. I've always rocked, patted or just sat with her throughout bedtime-- no matter how long it took. We've cried together many a sleepless night, but I know now it's gotta stop. We have another baby on the way, and I won't have all kinds of spare time for my little Penelope. :( It makes me sad on so many levels.... I know she and I will always be close, no matter what and I can't wait to tell her about how much she hated bedtime, when she's older. My Penelope... So, tonight I let her cry a full 30 minutes before going in her room to give her her binky. Well, I could tell she had poo in her diaper, so I had to get her up to change her. After I gave her the remainder of her last bottle, she was asleep in my arms. Oh, my poor baby was just soaked with tears, and her little face was all splotchy from wailing. Man! This stuff is not for sissies, let me tell ya! You've gotta have a heart of steel or of coal to stomach this kind of stuff! I'll keep trying with her, but I'll feel awful until she has it down. :/ I guess Daddy will be home tomorrow night, and we'll see if P does better.
Oh! While we were at my parents' place today, Penelope waved hello to us after we waved to her!!! Our smart smart baby girl!!! She learns new things every day, almost. We're so proud of her.
So, that's what's up at Casa Rindge today. We'll see Papa in the morning, and we love that! As for me tonight, I'll be hoping my baby has sweet dreams ALL NIGHT LONG! :)
Here's a pic of our baby today:
