I don't have a problem with the loss of sleep or "me time." It's when both children are awake and I'm tending to one and the other is having a melt down. Adam's little melt downs break my heart. The other day he ran into the back yard and sat on the steps all by himself. When I caught up with him and asked why he was sitting by himself he said, "I miss you mommy." :(<br /><br />I am so excited that you are going to be an aunt to a little boy! The Hickey family must be over the moon. I love the name, too! Those good, strong, male names are my favorite!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07274047322284101343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853183493337705487.post-32856110083237385412010-04-07T13:21:54.456-04:002010-04-07T13:21:54.456-04:00HEY! yay I am following you (creepy)!

We never let him have them when awake - they were always only for sleeping. When we put him in a real bed they would fall between the bed and the wall. He thought it was funny to watch us pull the bed out to get them and started putting them down there. We stopped getting them out (we had about 10) and said when they were all gone, that was it, he wouldn't have any more. Sure enough, that day came quickly. Rachel and I panicked about how aweful it would be (he was always a terrible sleeper) but he said "ok" and never looked back. I am a big fan of cold turkey. I've seen it work on numerous kids at the school where I teach as well. They just don't need them anymore to sleep, so while they like them, they just seem to get over it quickly.Sarah Mnoreply@blogger.com
