…in case anyone wonders… is no. She didn’t sleep. She woke up at 11pm and didn’t go back to sleep until 3am, by which time i had reluctantly started on “put her in her cot and leave her there” as an option. 🙁
Still, i guess this is one particular flogging rod i can now break over my knee; i always assumed Fran’s noctural habits were due to poor parenting style, not being breastfed, general incompetence, being pregnant again and her consequently hating me. Turns out some babies are just noctural then, because whatever else, i’ve been spot on brilliant as a parent to Josie since the moment i was fit to look after her.
Guess she’s going to pay me back for all those perfect new baby nights then.
Mind you, last night i discovered she can sing Row, Row Row your Boat – brilliant for someone not yet 13 months but perhaps a little grating in the witching hours 🙄
LOL, sounds familiar. Samee slept from 7.30pm and I thought I might be in for his first all evening/all nighter but alas he woke at 10.30pm and fussed and fidgeted until 12.30am.
I was starting to think threatening thoughts about stopping BFing !!!!!!! My babies always slept better on a bottle but that’s probably because they were un-naturally full.
I had a conversation with my mum recently and she was reading me an article about interrogation techniques i.e stand you up, don’t let you sleep, shine a bright light on you.
So now I’m just wondering which secret agency my children work for and what they want to know
Maybe that is all part of the plan to bring us down… they don’t really want you to know anything, they just want you to think they do. 😉
Yeah its hard to appreciate genius in your child at 3am really isn’t it! 😉
Anna used to sing Row Row word perfectly at that age – I’d forgotten about thta but now you remind me, it was quite sweet. Althoguh perhaps not at 3am, i agree 😉
we more have “whirr whirr whirrr de gurrr.. deegy deegy da….” but you know, who needs words? 😉
LOL! But those are words, Merry. 😛
