no sleep til daddy
March 31, 2009 - 9:53 p.m.

it's almost 10pm and G still isn't asleep. this is so not like her. normally she goes down easy as anything at around 7pm and if we are going to have sleep issues they don't materialise until after midnight or at least until we have got into bed. for the last couple of hours i've tried everything - sitting with her, holding her hand, reading her books, playing pass the dummy. i'm currently letting her cry. it's not something i've really had to do before and i don't particularly like it but it's the only thing i haven't tried.
i thought she had got over her book fetish but, as you know if you've seen my facebook page today, earlier she had a big old fiddle with one of our bookcases. i guess i don't really mind her playing with our books, they are precious to me but not so precious that i care about them looking worn and loved - i do draw the line at them being chewed. it's one of the few occasions that i use a stern voice and an emphatic "no".
G is quiet now. the cg went in to see her and somehow managed to do in a few minutes what i couldn't do in a couple of hours. fingers and toes crossed she doesn't wake up for the next 8 or so hours.
