Sierra, oh Sierra.... its a good thing you are so cute!
She woke up at 1:30am screaming, she was still asleep and I went to comfort her.
back to bed
she is crying againg... i go back down the hall
she points to her water- nice. I place her cup in her cubby little hands and lay down next to her.
she calms down and is sleepy
i kiss her and go back to bed
she gets up 15 minutes later
she gets toys
i can hear her...
should i get up? nah- maybe she'll go back to bed
then i worry
i get up i peak in
she has laid all her dollys in a line on the floor... at least they are sleeping.
she sees me, "ma" she yells
i go in, and lay down with her. i read her a book. i wait til she falls asleep.
i get up and go back to bed.
30 minutes later- she toddles into my room
i take her back to her bed, inform her that she MUST day in her room
i go back to bed- now WIDE awake
i fall asleep
then i hear it- her feet OUT of bed.
she is getting toys-
i don't care now.
i doze off again.
then i hear the loudest (and coolest) toy we own the jet... "mission control you are clear for take off----we need air support NOW-----boom, boom, boom"
i think i PRAY... let her put that down, surely she knows she is wrong.
NO SHE DOESN'T STOP.
oh the agony if Weston wakes up....
so i get up and go down the hall.
she has taken her whole bed apart.
i take away the jet
put back her bed--- let her know there will be TROUBLE if this keeps up.
i go back to bed
SHE GETS UP AND COMES DOWN THE HALL-
nice mommy is GONE
She gets a discipline (maybe what she needed an hour and a half ago, but believe me we've tried that too!!!)
i need to add on a sound proof, padded room... i am only KIND of joking. :)
she is almost 3 and has only slept through the night MAYBE 30 times
i'm tired

I'm sorry but I'm so glad Sierra is sooooo cute!!!!!
I Love you!
oh becca! I am so so so so sorry! It is so awful to not sleep. It does not matter how cute they are...at 1:30am it just doesn't cut it! Can I just say that you are soooo patient! I mean you're reading books, giving water, laying with her. She's a lucky girl. Auntie Shauna is not that nice. I pat their forehead, hit play on the CD player and stumble back to bed. If they continue to wake me...it is scary. I'm so NOT graceful in the middle of the night. In fact, Logan's waking up at 5am now. Yesterday I was ticked! I walked him around the house and practically yelled, "it's night night!!!" "See it's dark, it's night night!" It didn't work. Hello Sesame Street at 5am.
Hang in there!!
Becca,
You know the story of Miss Nelson is missing. You need Miss Viola Swamp to pay Sierra a visit!
Send Kind Mommy off for a vacation in Thailand on the Jet!
It'll get better, right?????
Love, Kerri
We can all hope! I don't know what else to do.... I know laugh at the days to come instead of cry!
Oh, Becca! I am SO sorry. And I'm speechless at the same time.
