So...where to begin....
We've been in KnoxVegas for 4 months now. After barely tolerating apartment life (whole different blog) we have just moved into a cute rental house for the next year. It's the PERFECT rental property. Downstairs has living room, dining room, laundry, kitchen and half bath. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms and LOTS of closet space!! We have a nice, big deck overlooking two ponds, walking trails and a beautiful view of the mountains. But, enough about that.
My kids have always been very routine, structured children with wonderful sleep habits (always been able to just put them to bed, close the door and they would sleep 12 hours til the next morning-kind of sleep habits.) BUT, after moving into our apartment, AKA, dump-hole, Annie Grace's little mouth decided to fill up with teeth. So...as she's cutting every tooth that she will ever have all at once, basically, she started waking up at all hours of the night with her mouth hurting, apparently. Well, due to the fact that our neighbor down below us (single mother of 5) complained every time we so much as sneezed, we had to start getting AG up out of bed and putting her in bed with us when she would wake up screaming with her teeth issues.
Now, 3 months later, she seems to be quite used to the "sleeping in mom and dad's bed" thing and I'm pretty sure that I'm reaching insanity pretty quickly from it!!! So the "sleep training" (love that they make it sound so simple) is about to begin at the Wells' house (not really our house but you get the idea). Thinking we will go with the Ferber method because that seemed to work so well with both of our girls when they were babies, but I'm a bit nervous because now she is the MOST strong-willed child ever and I'm thinking this is gonna be a battle. I think we'll start tonight while I'm out getting my hair done and let Robb go with it!! He seems to be much better at tuning her out than I do. My heart pretty much feels as if it will burst every time she screams, "MOMMY!!!"
Until next time, wish us luck on sleeping children!!!
