I tried to make a post from my Kindle last night. I can't even recall what it was about now... but my Kindle locked up and my post left my brain and I decided that sleep would be a far better use of my time.
Of course my child didn't get that memo, because she woke up last night and after trying to nurse her back to sleep (yes, at 16 months, no I am not a lactivist) she proceeded to fuss off and on for the next hour or more. Sigh.
I thought I had the secret formula of night sleeping... Having a good snack before bed, having her digestive health in order, being snuggled in her sleepsack, putting her down in her crib before she's comatose. All of the above resulted in three blissful nights of sleep for a mother who forgot what uninterrupted sleep felt like.
Alas, no repetition of the above formula has worked again for the past 3 nights. "It gets better" seems to be the mantra of the sleep-deprived parent. But, when better gets worse, you can keep your mantras. I'll take an extra hour of sleep.
