This how we wake up

Me and Isaac are cuddled up in bed together and I kiss him on the forehead. He then puts his hand in my chest like he was saying love you mommy. Made my heart melt. These are the moments I live for.

Any mommas have tips for transitioning from co sleeping/bed sharing to baby sleeping/ falling asleep in their own crib? Past couple nights I've been trying to get Dakotah to fall asleep in her own crib and it's been super rough. I hate to stop bed sharing with her but on nights I work till ten she's not getting to bed till super late because she won't fall asleep in her own bed, and mawmaw and papa can't lay down and fall asleep with her. Right now I've ended up rocking her to sleep and then laying her down but my parents can't/won't do that. I just need a semi easy way to transition her with out stressing her and me out. fuckyeahmumblrs you ladies have any ideas?

J and I are really struggling with Lilly and bedtime routines.  We've tried just about everything from sitting with her, bed sharing and letting her falls asleep on her own outside of her room but once we say it's bed time she falls to the ground and screams at the top of her lungs. Bed sharing is the way to go. It's the easiest but not the most comfortable. It prevents thrashing tantrums but that means J is stuck sleeping on the couch. I don't mind bed sharing but some nights it would be nice to sleep alone with just my husband. Isaac is already at the foot of our bed in his bed so when she screams, he wakes up and then we have two crying babies.

I'm just at a loss with what to do with her.  We don't spank. Raising our voice doesn't work. Talking calmly doesn't work and some nights even sitting with her in her room doesn't work. We try to give her options so she has some control but that doesn't work either. I do not expect her to just go right to sleep but I would really appreciate her not throwing such a violent tantrum. I'm honestly surprised the neighbors haven't called the cops. That's how bad it is. I know I would if I heard a child screaming like that. I'm hoping it's her age or just a phase, whatever but I just can't take it anymore. It's really out of control. I'm just taking it one day at a time..that's all I can do.

I still love her and adore her, but some days..man let me tell you. It would be easier to let her sleep at my moms house than deal with that fit. She's a picture perfect little girl at both grandmas houses but once she's home it's like all the rules go out the window. But at the end of the day when she falls asleep on my shoulder I forget all about the days problems and I just melt into her arms and we fall asleep. Do I miss cuddling with my husband? Of course, but she won't be little forever and moments like these I'll miss and regret if I didn't take advantage of them.

Things have to get worse before they get better and last night was better than the night before. So hopefully we're making progress. The house is so hectic..I just want some sense of control but that's almost impossible with a 10 month old and a 2 year old. I just have to hold out until cuddle time and things will be okay.
