Sunday Sort Out!

What a night!

Rebecca haas a cold and a temperature so was up to her at 4am, she settled after an hour or so and then Jessica was up at 7am.

We have decided that Rebecca needs to go back into her own room, as Jessica's sleep issues are getting too big to manage now.

She is refusing to sleep in her bed, wants to sleep in the travel cot, and it is taking hours to get her to sleep at night - mainly involving one of us sitting with her singing twinkle twinkle little bloomin star over and over!

So, this morning we have been sorting out upstairs, getting Rebecca back into her own room, which of course meant clearing it of all the boxes and junk that has seemed to accumilate!

Jessica's room is now arranged differently, so hoping she may get excited about it again, and sleep better. We have decided to do the controlled crying with a difference route! We will put her to bed, let her cry for 2 mins, go in settle her, tell her its time to sleep etc and leave, go in after 4 mins and repeat until she finally drops off. We know it will take a few days for it to sink in, but we also need her to sleep properly so she is less ratty the following day!

So all in all it seems to be housework, housework and more housework today.... but at least it will be done and we can then enjoy the week ahead without getting stressed out over the state of the house!

Roast Chicken for tea tonight - am looking forward to it already!!!
