She only recently started doing that, just before she turned 2 in fact. However, lately, she's wanted to FALL ASLEEP in "Mommy room." For awhile, I let her. (She got used to sleeping with me when I took her to my parents' for a vacation in August). But letting her fall asleep in my bed is killing us. I lie down next to her. But all she does is fiddle around, toss and turn, play, kick her legs in the air, sing to herself, ANYTHING to actually avoid going to sleep. <br /><br />Enough. Last night I put her back in her room to go to bed. She cried. She hollered. She screamed for Daddy (who is working nights BTW). I went in to comfort and soothe her twice. Eventually she turned over, hugged her Pooh Bear and fell asleep in her own bed. Definitely a feat. A step in the right direction.<br /><br />I have to continue this; but damn, it's hard. I WANT her to go to sleep in my bed. I WANT to cuddle with her. I WANT to snuggle the soft hair at the base of her neck. I WANT to stroke her cheek and God knows, I love every moment that I get to do that. But for her sleep, for MY sleep and for all of us, I know she needs to be in her bed. Knowing it in my head though doesn't stop my heart from breaking when I put her down. It sucks. But it is the right thing to do. Many hugs to you as you navigate the first of many moments of 'letting go.'Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726325164456309750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-46139592547443942932011-10-05T08:54:50.213-04:002011-10-05T08:54:50.213-04:00That beginning of separation can be so hard for mo...That beginning of separation can be so hard for moms.
