Love Times Three – Our True Story Of A Polygamous Marriage!

Anyone have trouble getting kids to sleep in their own bed? Well, I have a 4 year old that still continually wants to sleep in my bed with me, and I let him when he’s not feeling well especially if Joe is not with me.  I admit I like to snuggle but it isn’t always a snuggly enjoyable time.  However, I have managed to get my 18 month old in her own bed making my nights much more restful! I got some tips from a parenting magazine and they really worked for me.  Some people say to put the baby in the crib and let them cry themselves to sleep for as long as it takes, just don’t get them out or they will always think they can get you to give in. But I just had such a hard time with that, and my kids would be diehards, I know it, crying for hours upon end.  I know they would tug at my heartstrings and sense my anguish. No, this method wouldn’t work for me.
My baby now sleeps on her own…yay! For the first week I put her in the crib, not leaving the room, and spoke softly to her. I told her I loved her and that she was a big girl to sleep in her own bed.
