I just saw friends and siblings and other people struggle with keeping their child in bed, getting them to sleep etc. Once we got Roman I thought I had read every book on bedtime and how to make it "easy and comfortable" - ya, all those books are full of crap!! He'll be 8 months old this week and he JUST NOW started sleeping all night ON OCCASION. It's so tough, I'll probably be in your shoes when he's her age. On the other hand, sorry, I have no advice, you've tried all the things I would try and would know to try. I have read a good book on discipline that may give you some ideas for this area (worth a try) It's called Love and Logic.Mrs. D'Amicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02488883366669591864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879614662040394328.post-63512613644379974192012-03-01T22:34:56.150-06:002012-03-01T22:34:56.150-06:00My son was like Paisley and the toothbrushing when...My son was like Paisley and the toothbrushing when he was her age. Every day we would ask the question "do you want to brush your teeth the easy way or the hard way" and everytime it ended up being the hard way....laying him on the floor, straddled over him to hold his arms down and limit squirming with one hand on his forehead to hold his head still and the other to brush his teeth. That was a good day, other days we needed the two of us. Anyways, he is seven now and doesn't have any indications of being traumatized by that. I can't remember how old he was when he finally figured out that the easy way was better than the hard way though.....hang in there! I COULD NOT imagine intentional puking.....This will be quite the story when she gets older!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879614662040394328.post-80916728820455386852012-03-01T21:54:55.540-06:002012-03-01T21:54:55.540-06:00paisley sounds like my son. tonight he literally B...paisley sounds like my son. tonight he literally BIT his toothbrush so i couldnt brush the teeth. all while screaming hysterically. somedays i'm pretty convinced he's giving me hearing damage. i am not as strong as you [ie a child #2 would put me under].basebell6https://www.blogger.com/profile/12476758880824912257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879614662040394328.post-18972680824258443172012-03-01T21:12:34.486-06:002012-03-01T21:12:34.486-06:00Ohhhh wow!
