A new necklace option, and sleep training - night 4

Bedtime tonight was even better than last night, with the monkey only needing to be reminded once that she's supposed to lie down during story time. We read the usual number of stories (4) which I'm thinking is one too many, as she was really good for the first three, and only needed reminding during the last one. She was also visibly sleepy, which is a first and is awesome.

We started talking tonight about how she's a big girl, and how when we come back from Grandma's on Sunday, the exercise ball will be all gone. I'm going to try to have this talk with her at nap time and bed time every night between now and then to get her used to the idea - she's much better with new and/or uncomfortable situations when she knows what's going to happen in advance. I'm still anticipating hours of unhappiness once the ball is gone - it's the only way she knows how to fall asleep, and she's pretty strong-willed. I'm actually going to deflate the ball and put it away though, so we'll have to figure out together how to make it work.

Anyway. She went right to sleep at 8:15 after only five minutes of bouncing, and is still asleep now, at almost 11 - unheard of. She normally wakes at least twice before I go to bed.

Now, on to something new and exciting: a whole new necklace option! The Custom Semi-Precious Nursing Necklace! Semi-precious stones are beautiful and are great for nursing necklaces! And there are so many different kinds to choose from! Now you can design your own meaningful and lovely necklace, complete with our special safety bead and super-strong spectra-fiber cord. If you think that the necklace pictured on the page is familiar, that's because it's our Winter To Spring necklace - we have a couple of orders on deck for Custom Semi-Precious necklaces, but until they're finished, the Winter to Spring necklace is doing double-duty.

So that's it for tonight. I'm off to bed early for once - I think I've earned it! Have a great Easter!
