Baby Plots to keep Mommy Awake All Night - Check it out - so cute!
Here is a spoof on some of the most popular sleep training methods, from a
baby's point of view. I found this on a fellow blogger's blog and asked if I could share it with you. It is so funny, enjoy!
'OK, here’s my situation. My Mommy has had me for almost seven months.
The first few months were great. I cried, she picked me up and fed me,
anytime, day or night. Then something happened. Over the last few weeks,
she has been trying to STTN (sleep through the night). At first, I
thought it was just a phase, but it is only getting worse. I’ve talked
to other babies, and it seems like its pretty common after Mommies have
had us for around six months.
Here’s the thing: these Mommies don’t really need to sleep. Its just a
habit. Many of them have had some 30 years to sleep and they just don’t
need it anymore. So I am implementing a plan. I call it the Crybaby
Shuffle. It goes like this:
Night 1: Cry every three hours until you get fed. I know, its hard. Its
hard to see your Mommy upset over your crying. Just keep reminding
yourself, its for her own good.
Night 2: Cry every two hours until you get fed.
Night 3: Cry every hour. Most Mommies will start to respond more quickly after about three nights.
Some Mommies are more alert, and may resist the change longer. These
Mommies may stand in your doorway for hours, shhhh-ing. Don’t give in. I
cannot stress this enough: CONSISTENCY IS KEY!! If you let her STTN
(sleep through the night), just once, she will expect it every night. I
KNOW ITS HARD! But she really doesn’t need the sleep, she’s just
resisting the change.
If you have an especially alert Mommy, you can stop crying for about 10
minutes, just long enough for her to go back to bed and start to fall
asleep. Then cry again. It WILL eventually work. My Mommy once stayed
awake for 10 hours straight, so I know she can do it.
Last night, I cried every hour. You just have to decide to stick to it
and just go for it. BE CONSISTENT! I cried for any reason I could come
up with. My sleep sack tickled my foot. I felt a wrinkle under the
sheet. My mobile made a shadow on the wall. I burped, and it tasted like
pears. I hadn’t eaten pears since lunch, what’s up with that? The cat
said 'meow'. I should know. My Mommy reminds me of this about 20 times a
day. LOL. Once I cried just because I liked how it sounded when it
echoed on the monitor in the other room. Too hot, too cold, just right -
doesn’t matter! Keep crying!! It took awhile, but it worked.
She fed me at 4am. Tomorrow night, my goal is 3:30am. You need to slowly
shorten the interval between feedings in order to reset your Mommies
internal clocks. Sometimes my Mommy will call for reinforcements by
sending in Daddy. Don’t worry, Daddies are not set up for not needing
sleep the way Mommies are. They can only handle a few pats and shhing
before they declare defeat and send in the Mommy.
Also, be wary of the sleep sheep with rain noises. I like to give Mommy
false hope that listening to the rain puts me to sleep sometimes I
pretend to close my eyes and be asleep and then wait until I know Mommy
is settling back to sleep to spring a surprise cry attack.If she doesn’t
get to me fast enough I follow up with my fake cough and gag noise that
always has her running to the crib.At some point I am positive she will
start to realize that she really doesn’t really need sleep.
P.S. Don’t let those rubber things fool you, no matter how long you suck on them, no milk will come out. Trust me.
I found this post on "Sleep, Baby, Sleep" blog - thanks Violet for letting me share this!

Harvest of Gold by Tessa Afshar
This week, the
Christian Fiction Blog Alliance
is introducing
Harvest of Gold
River North; New Edition edition (July 1, 2013)
by
Tessa Afshar
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
TESSA AFSHAR was voted "New Author of the Year" by the Family Fiction sponsored Reader's Choice Award 2011 for her novel Pearl in the Sand. She was born in Iran, and lived there for the first fourteen years of her life. She moved to England where she survived boarding school for girls and fell in love with Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte, before moving to the United States permanently. Her conversion to Christianity in her twenties changed the course of her life forever. Tessa holds an MDiv from Yale University where she served as co-chair of the Evangelical Fellowship at the Divinity School. She has spent the last thirteen years in full-time Christian work.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The scribe Sarah married Darius, and at times she feels as if she has married the Persian aristocracy, too. There is another point she did not count on in her marriage-Sarah has grown to love her husband. Sarah has wealth, property, honor, and power, but her husband's love still seems unattainable.
Although his mother was an Israelite, Darius remains skeptical that his Jewish wife is the right choice for him, particularly when she conspires with her cousin Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Ordered to assist in the effort, the couple begins a journey to the homeland of his mother's people. Will the road filled with danger, conflict, and surprising memories, help Darius to see the hand of God at work in his life-and even in his marriage?
A hidden message, treachery, opposition, and a God-given success, will lead to an unlikely bounty.
If you'd like to read the first chapter of Harvest of Gold, go HERE.

I received free the item(s) mentioned in this post in exchange for my honest review. Regardless ~ All my reviews are my honest and personal opinion and are not influenced nor reviewed by the sponsor prior to posting.For more info, see my FTC disclosure or Review Policy.
