Sorry for the lack of posts lately. We've been really busy with all sorts of stuff.
K-T's one to two hour screaming fits have now been replaced with much smaller crying spells that occur every hour or so. I guess if I had to choose between the two, I would take the latter. I would much rather have short cries then hours of screaming.
I can usually go into her room, reinsert the binky, put one hand on her chest, use the other hand to stroke her hair and whisper gently, "Shhhhhhh. It's time to go night-night. It's sleepy time. Everyone else is asleep. Shhhhhhh."
Believe it or not, it works. She usually quiets down in about 5 minutes or less. The problem is that I have to do this about 4 or 5 times during the night. Usually it happens as soon as I fall into a deep sleep. Bummer.
I don't think I have gotten more than 3 hours consecutive sleep in the past two weeks.
I'm trying to catch up during the day when I can. Actually, as soon as finish this short blog, I'll be off into dreamworld.
I've got other stuff to write about, but I just HAVE to go get some sleep. The bags under my eyes are just about hanging to my knees.
In the meantime, I'm going to give you an assignment.
Check out some pizza commercials.
Whenever someone takes a bite out of a pizza on TV their eyes practically bug out of their heads. I guess this eye-widening is supposed to convey, "OH my GOD, this is the MOST DELICIOUS pizza I have EVER tasted! Wowzers."
It's ridiculous. It really is.
