Well...Presley has successfully stayed in dream land in her crib for 9 to 11 hours for the past 3 nights (One of which I turned the monitor down when I was half asleep). Don't worry, we can hear her without it if she wants us to.
I think that with all the people around kinda threw her off, but mostly I think that she was starting to realize that where does mommy and daddy go at night, and wherever they are I want to be there!
At first she resisted, crying out every hour! We thought we had died and gone back to the first two weeks of her life. Then, one night after a while of this, I went in picked her up, changed her diaper and began to rock her. I told her that we were here for her, to protect and love her. I told her we loved her and that she needed to sleep in her crib. I prayed for her that she would feel safe and secure and that His presence would fill her room...and...that was 3 nights ago.
Thank-you Lord for caring about the sleep of little ones, and their parents :)

Hi Kathleen!
Thank you for your sweet words! By the way you've inspired me I am kicking my boys out of our bed again... they are obviously alot older. But, this last year I wanted to be able to cuddle with them. I am going to hug them and tell them what you told Presley and then pray for God's presence.
Good to hear from you! It is such a tug of war with our child(ren). We want them to grow confident and indipendant but yet we want thme so close always!!
He totally cares!!!! I love you!
