Nylabear has been a busy bee this past weekend. The in-laws were in town, and that means Grandma and Grandpa were here for some snuggles! What a wonderful time we all had together.
Whenever people are in town, or when we travel, Nyla's schedule gets all off and so her sleeping is just crazy. I can safely say that over the weekend, I think Paul and I got a total of 15 hours of sleep over three nights. Homegirl just doesn't sleep at night!
Wait, let me take that back. She does sleep, but only in one place...our bed. Yes, we have broken the cardinal rule of parenting: do not let your child sleep in your bed--they will never leave it!
I should have known this from our Okie-doodle! When Okie was a puppy, we tried to start her in crate training at night. When we went to bed, we'd put her in her crate. She would cry and cry and CRY for hours on end. Finally, after two weeks of no sleep, Paul and I broke down and put her in our bed. She slept like a rock! Fast forward to today; as I write this, Okie is perched comfortably on the bed in front of me. Once the baby (puppy) is in the bed, they never leave.
I fear the same is true of Nyla! The last two nights, the only way she has slept is by being in our bed. At least last night, we put her in our bed just to fall asleep, then transferred her into her crib. Hopefully we can get back to Sleepy Land where Nyla slept in her crib soundly from the start. We'll see tonight...
