I am going crazy… December 8, 2006
Posted by spacemom in : Kids, I dream of sleep , trackbackLast night, Luna was up at 11:52, 12:57, 2:54, 4:50 and finally at 5:57.
She is in the phase of screaming for every thing she wants.
This morning, she screamed "I WANT PIZZA" for breakfast. When I told her that we don’t get things when we scream and we don’t have pizza in the house anyway, she just screamed.
My selective memory is slowly coming back that Soleil did this too. I hate this I hate this I hate this.
You can not reason with a screamer and you can’t give in.
One day, I will sleep again. Maybe when they go to college.

This morning Coop did the demand game too!! What is with these kids? “I WANT RAISINS!!!”
Excuse me, whose house do you live in that you EVER get what you want by asking that way?
And while Coop is sleeping like a charm, Bones continues to have me bleary-eyed as well. It is to the point that after a 2 hour stretch I think “wow! That was great sleep!”
Yawn. I’m right there with you.
Yours, in sleep-a-tude,

Ooog. Rough. She may be going through a growth spurt or developmental spurt (my pat answer to everything these days!). Here’s hoping this phase ends soon!
Most common exchange in our house, hands down:
Kid: I want [name of item]!
Me: So … what should you say to make that happen?
Kid: Mama, may I have [name of item], please?
We’ve been doing this over and over and over and over and OVER since she learned how to talk, and it still hasn’t sunk in. I’m hoping eight will be the magic year.
oh..I’m sorry. I hope you get some sleep tonight!
