Snuzzle Wuzzle
Seriously, I have no time! I can barely shower anymore. Now that Kaitlyn is growing out of the sleep anywhere all the time stage- there really is no "me" time. We're trying to get her to nap in her crib- I just started this morning. She would have none of it, no matter how hard I tried all morning long.

Then, for her mid-afternoon snooze, I tried again. I rocked her until she was good and drowsy, and then laid her in her crib. She opened her eyes and squawked in protest, and I snuzzle-wuzzled her forehead (stroked it gently) and it worked like magic. I usually have to go in there a couple times with the snuzzle-wuzzle action before she succumbs to her tiredness, and conks out. But, it's working! I read the book the "No Cry Sleep Solution"- and I like a lot of her ideas. Although, I believe the "snuzzle wuzzle" is my Dad's original handiwork.

How 'bout a picture from the one time little angel let me put her in her swing today...



and she started smiling...
