(This is a post from my deleted blog.)

Many of you already know that we had VBS this week. VBS is always wonderful, but it is exhausting as well. Both my kids were sick at some point this week, and it finally caught up with me Friday afternoon. I spent Friday afternoon and Saturday feeling under the weather, but at least it was after I completed my VBS responsibilities. I am feeling much better today.

For the past couple of weeks, my Best Girl has not slept well. While she was sick, of course, we coddled her and cared for her when she was feeling bad during the night. Unfortunately, her sleeping habits didn't improve when she felt better. She has been waking 4 times a night and crying. On Friday evening, she cried for an hour when we put her in the bed. We would go in and check on her, and she would give us some reason she was crying. As soon as we left, she would start crying again. We finally just had to let her cry herself to sleep. I really felt like she was taking advantage of her recent illness, and now I know for sure. Last night, we told her that if she could start sleeping like a big girl again that we would put together her big girl bed. The little rascal slept all night! She didn't even call for us when she woke this morning. When my husband went in to get her, she said, "Can I have my big girl bed now?" Obviously, she was taking us for a ride with the all night crying. Now we plan to put together the big girl bed, but we will keep the crib handy in case she can't handle the freedom! :) I ordered her some new bedding yesterday, so I will post a pic when we finish it.

That's all the excitement around here. For more Weekend Reflections, visit Judi. Have a great Sunday!
