Trying a new bedtime 'technique' tonight. I have been laying with Jeena until she falls asleep. Last night after she fell asleep (and I did too!), I attempted to get out of bed and my hips hurt way too much! So tonight I decided that she could try to fall asleep without me in her bed with her.
I read her stories and tucked her in and said I was going to clean up a bit.
Twenty minutes later, she runs to the kitchen and said "GUESS WHAT????" with a huge smile on her face!
I said "What is it?"
And she said "I woke up at 7, look at the clock!!"
Had to dash her excitement and tell her she hadn't slept yet..
