My Bad


Have you ever had a problem that you TOTALLY know is your fault?  
For example, not teaching your "infant" to sleep through the night?  And now she's 10 months old and you're exhausted.  
Oh boy...
But at the time it seemed like the right thing to do.  Don't let her cry b/c then Maizie will wake up, and a cranky toddler is so much worse than a tired momma.  Right? 
BUT WE WOULD BE DONE BY NOW!!!
Now, I have a little girl who is too big to sleep in our tiny room, who can't share a room with her sister, and who is sleeping in a pack-and-play in the basement.  And who is a REALLY loud and persistent crier. 
Ugh.
I must say, however, that she only wakes up once.  It's still annoying, though.
But she sure is cute.

Hmmm--it's mini katie. you do what you do to sleep and function as a stay-at-home mom. You have passed on the dark somber genes of the Bisbys. amazing. and believe me, you wouldn't be "done by now" even if you had enforced the rules. Kids like you and Iris make the rules and we all follow them to avoid the shrieking :-)

Baby Wise! :) And you're right, Iris is ADORABLE. And Jeanine (whoever she may be) is right -- Iris's (that's Iris is) a mini YOU!

You can "perfect" the sleeping with the next kids! :)

hee,hee, I am Katie's mom, so I know what I'm talking about. A needier child (except for Iris)there never was.
