I am up earlier than usual on a Monday. See, normally I don’t get up until the alarm goes off, and Monday is a late start day at Jayden’s school….. BUT! I had to get on here and blog about our first night making Ella STAY in her bed.
I blogged last night on how she had gone in there fell asleep on her own and how proud I was of her. Shortly after that blog we heard her crying. So, Gino went upstairs and got her. Technically I should went up and made her stay in there, but that’s not what happened. Instead, she layed on the couch and feel back asleep.
THEN! We took her upstairs and instead of throwing her in our bed I put her in her’s. She woke up and started crying and I reminded her that she was being a big girl and was going to get a sticker for being such a big girl! She nodded her head and said okay, hugged her bobby and went to sleep.
It lasted about 15 minutes…. then she started crying for Mommy. So, I went in, comforted her and reminded her that she’s being a big girl! She said ok and pointed to Jayden’s bed and said MAMA! Okay, I layed down in Jayden’s bed so she felt comforted for about 20 minutes. In that 20 minutes she woke up once and I heard her say “OH!” Like a oh, okay, she’s still here! And heard her turn over and I vacated the room.
And 7am is when she woke up!
She got out of bed yelling I DID IT!!!!!! She was so proud of herself…I just loved it and felt so good inside!
Yay, Ella! What a big girl!
Oh, honey, yay!!!
Biggest accomplishment ever!! I know the feeling…and know how proud you are!
Go, Ella, Go! Such a big girl!
WOOHOO! That's awesome!
