nSo...Rachel finally understands that I mean business! I think her behavior has improved! She earned her blanket back the next day before bedtime....and since then, all I have to do is threaten one time about the blanket, and her behavior changes. So, for now, I have found something that works! Now....I will have to enjoy that for a bit...and then determine how I can get her to stop sucking her thumb and wean her off that blanket.
On another note.....the night we were trying to get Rachel to go to bed without the blanket, I moved Leah's mattress into the playroom so she could sleep. She liked it so much, she has claimed that room as her own....and I mean, she has claimed it! So, the girls have always bickered, but now...it is "GET OUT OF MY ROOM" all the time, from both of them! I told them if they didn't quit, I was moving them back together! And also.....Leah keeps declaring NO BOYS ALLOWED! So she keeps hurting Noah's feelings. So, we've gotta set some rules about that. Noah has always been so kind to them about coming in his room. It is kinda funny.....b/c she has never been excited about anything before...but she loves her new room, and she didn't even want her own room when we moved, I kept asking her, and no, she wanted to stay with Rachel. She and I are having fun planning her zebra themed room....I will have to post pics when I get done.
that is too good - the blankie. i've been wondering how it's going!
ReplyDeletepoor noah. he's so sweet. he needs some more boys in that house. hmm.. maybe i could send you one or two of mine....
i can't wait to see the zebra room!
Our old neighbor's daughter had a blankie, and they cut her a piece to cram in her pocket when she was out of the house. I know you aren't at the point where she'll let you near her with scissors, but maybe later!
