When she did wake up, Frida crawled into bed with us and "cuddled" for a while, waking up happily at 7:30 a.m. Good girl! And then my sweet husband took her downstairs for some Backyardigans-viewing and let me sleep until 9:30 a.m.!!!! I feel so much better today -- a total turnaround from yesterday, when I was miserable with a cold, now just a sniffle.
Frida isn't a baby anymore, although it seems like yesterday that she looked like this:
or this:
She's a big girl now, 3 years old!
I have told her that she can have a nightgown -- made by mama, just like her big sister's -- when she learns how to sleep on her own, in her bed, at night. Honestly, I will settle for 8:30 - 4:30.
So if -- let's say when -- you see a post about nightgown sewing, you can take it as a good sign!

I have 3 little boys ages 6, 3 1/2, and 9 months.... and I haven't slept through the night since 2005. I feel your pain!
oh it makes such a difference when they start sleeping properly. my youngest didnt sleep until she was about 3 either. They are both teenagers now who need dragging out of bed!!
Oh, Jennyroo, I feel for you! And thanks Catherine for the confirmation -- sometimes it can feel as if your child is the ONLY ONE who doesn't sleep well :( In this household we get it at both ends: two teenagers stay up late and one toddler wakes up early (and often). Oh dear. And of course, Frida didn't repeat her wonderful performance last night, but I do feel hopeful that she can at least have a good night and that more are coming...soon, hopefully!
What amazing blue eyes Frida has - she`s adorable. Well done Frida for letting mommy sleep through and to Mr. Enchanted Bobbin for doing the Backyardigans, which we enjoy too. Zaki has always slept through so I never had to go through this, but for the last few days he has been coming in in the middle of the night. What has prompted it, I have no idea! Hope the new stage continues for you Jennifer.
Well done Frida!! I hope she can replicate her marvellous sleep frequently!
