our biggest challenge with Miss A has been sleep. it took several weeks before she was willing to go into her room by herself for more than a moment, and it took a "big girl" sticker chart to help her claim some courage and not say "me scared" at the idea of turning on her own bedroom light.
so, sleep eluded us too. some nights were better than others, but most nights included two or three awakenings (four on bad night), beginning with crying and often escalating to screaming for various reasons and lengths of time. just in the last few days have we finally seen real progress in this area, as we figure out the right temperature, combination of pjs and blankies, lotion, chapstick, hair in a ponytail, etc, etc, etc. matt looks at us with eyebrows raised and i say, non-chalantly, "girls are high-maintenance. you knew this."
