Today was Big Brother's 2nd day at preschool and Mommy and Little Sister sure miss Big Brother like crazy when we are just by ourselves. I keep thinking about what Big Brother would be doing right now all throughout the day.The sister said that you really missed Daddy today and wanted to wait for Daddy to ring the bell in the afternoon. You slept for about an hour and a half, which is less than you would at home, but hopefully you will learn to feel more secure and sleep longer as time goes on. My heart hurt so much when I heard that you are missing your family and home. I feel so terrible for putting you through this. I still have a month left of leave, and I am already putting you in preschool. It's because we don't know how you will adjust and things were just so rough at home with both of you needing a lot of my attention. I have so many mixed feelings, mainly guilt for putting you through this. I hope one day you will be able to understand and forgive me.
Little Sister's morning nap is still not quite set yet, but Mommy and Little Sister did take a 2:40 nap in the afternoon, which was very nice. In the morning, you only took a 30' nap, and a 50' nap, so Mommy will try to help you sleep longer in the morning. I try to force you, but you often vomit, so please cooperate with me my sweet dear daughter. Tonight was rough, you didn't fully fall asleep until 8:30 pm. I don't think you have ever been up that late. Don't know what was going on tonight that whatever I did to soothe you, you would not go to sleep. As a result, Mommy didn't get a chance to spend time with Big Brother at all. Maybe you sense that Mommy really wanted to get away so I can read book to Big Brother... Even though it has only been two hours, you have awoken a lot. Mommy is hoping this is just a phase and your sleep will improve in the coming days. Maybe you are teething??? You drool a lot during the day but you don't cry, so I am not sure. The fussiness is mainly at night, but it's not crying, it is just not sleeping. Some nights, I try to give you Tylenol, but you don't really like that either. I think last night was a little better than the previous night in that you woke up but went back to sleep sooner than the regular hour and a half like the previous three nights. I have been trying to walk you in the morning to improve your sleep too. We go on our usual walks as I think so much about Big Brother. I really miss Big Brother being at home and cannot wait to spend some personal time with Big Brother this weekend.
Little Sister's achievement so far:
- love to look at yourself in the mirror or pictures of yourself.
- You would call out for Mommy every time you don't see Mommy.
- Rolling over and beginning to sit by herself – we prop you up and help support sitting up, and you are getting stronger, but not quite there yet. You are able to sit on the glider now. You are a champ at rolling
- Squeal, babble, laugh and cry very loudly
- May be afraid of unfamiliar people – you are all smiles when you are at home in your comfortable environment.
