Sleep, Lots & Lots of Sleep Ryan on Jul 26, 2005 1:20pm
...not so much with the sleep thing. Not in our house lately anyway. Olivia is getting harder and harder to get to sleep. For a while we were doing really well for a while and she was settling herself with no problem. However, ever since we came back from vacation she hasn\'t been able to settle herself very well at all.

Needless to say, Carrie & I are at a loss with getting the little girl to sleep. We\'ve tried the \"cry it out\" method, which works only if she dosen\'t scream until she vomits...or until we both decide its gone on long enough and she shows no signs of calming down.

We\'re exhausted as well, though we\'re getting more sleep lately. Liv will wake up for a bit at night, but usually goes back to sleep without objection. We both sort of just sit on the couch at night, (after cleaning up dinner, bottles, and other little outstanding things...), and sort of just \"zone out.\"

Carrie just finished the 6th Harry Potter book, so in preperation for my turn, (it\'ll take me till the next book comes out to finish this one probably...), I have been listening to the last book on tape. I am only on chapter 7 with that, but its easier than waiting for me to read the book myself. I\'ve heard good things so far, and she says I\'ll not like the ending, but am looking forward to it. Its wierd that I am reading a \"children\'s\" book, but they\'ve been getting darker and less kid-like after every one. So I am not feeling as badly about it.

Since I\'ve even bored myself with this entry, I\'m just going to finish my lunch...

do you guys have a music box or even one of those musical light things that cast colorful figures on the ceiling in the dark and they go around in circles... or even one of those night light things that attach to the side of the crib and play music and also light up?
i also heard that while massaging the ears and rocking them have a relaxing effect on them...adults fall asleep...
sometimes jarrett likes to be massaged at the hairline while we cuddle too.
