A letter for Rachel

Dear Rachel,

Mommy & Daddy think you're adorable. HOWEVER, we do not appreciate these crib parties that you are having at 2 in the morning. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go back to sleeping through the night.

We love you!

Mommy & Daddy

Ok - so for the past two nights, the little princess has decided to have a crib party at 2 in the morning. The first night, I thought she just needed her soother. Nope - that only lasted for about 10 minutes. I would have let her talk/cry it out but I felt bad for Ron knowing that he had to get up at 4:30 in the morning for work. So, I went in and grabbed her and we hung out downstairs. An hour and a half later, she was sound asleep. Night #2, pretty much the same as the first except I was exhausted & didn't want to stay awake for an hour & a half. I cuddled with Rachel on the couch and I know I fell asleep before she did. Ron came down this morning at 4:30 and put Rachel back in her crib & told me to go back to bed as well. Rachel woke up just before 7 and was FULL of energy. Me - not so much! I fed her & played with her and was soooo happy when she started rubbing her eyes. I bundled her up & brought her into our bed so we could have a nice nap. We got up at 9:45.

I REALLY hope this isn't a new thing for her. However, I do realize now that we have been spoiled for the past 9-10 weeks with her sleeping through the night.

I think Ron & I will go to bed when Rachel does tonight - lol
