Bedtime







I am trying to get Ash to sleep in her own bed. It's hard because I work nights and it's not something I want to deal with when I get home. I just want to lay her down and then have ME time, cuz it's usually the only time I get my myself. And honestly, I don't mind her in my bed, she is very cuddly and wakes me up with loves and kisses. BUT, I know the longer I go with her in my bed, the harder it will be to get her into her own bed. She also has a very cute bedroom with a very nice bed that is just not being used at all.
She has slept in her bed the last three nights in a row. I promised her that if she does it for a few weeks she will get a big girl princess bike with a pink helmet, she only has a tricycle right now. I've also been doing little special treats for her every day.
The first treat was a trip to Jungle Jim's. I wanted that first day to be a big deal, so that "treat" was a little more expensive than the rest plan to be. She had a great time playing and going on the rides there.
Yesterday we went to Family Dollar and I let her pick out a couple of things. It didn't cost much, maybe five bucks is all.
Today after running some errands I took her to Burger King and let her eat inside. I don't know why this is exciting to her but it is.
Hopefully, she will get used to being in her bed fairly soon. I almost gave in last night when she woke up at 0430 but I held my ground and got her milk, let her go potty and made her get back in. I was so close to just putting her in my bed again.
So, I am trying again tonight! Wish me luck!
