Sleep

Sleep, or lack their of, must come into my writing every so often. We had another comment today that just can't go by without mention...

We have been struggling to get Katherine to be an independent sleeper forever. In the last six weeks, we have been pretty ruthless in letting her cry for awfully long periods of time until she falls asleep. Today she had been in her crib for a very long time before we decided that, like it or not, she was not going to nap.

When I rescued her from her crib she said, and I am not kidding, "My tummy hurts from crying for you for so long."

Well, I wonder how long I'll be able to let her cry the next time...
