    @ninja: @PrincessBaby: I totally agree re GOMI trolls. I don't know that I can really express how I truly feel about it without getting censored/ put in time out for a while (I digress . . . ), but we are here to support you. You're one of US, and we love, support, and encourage US. ((hugs))

    @ninja: Thank you for that:)

    @MsLipGloss: You are so sweet:). I agree with you 100% and SO MUCH about that situation not only angered me, but it just totally creeped me out. To know that we're being watched and then JUDGED for our parenting choices and beliefs. And I can't think of a single mom on here that does not give 1000% of herself in doing what shebelieves is best for her LO, and even though I clearly don't have all the answers and my way may not be another hber's way, I would never knock another mom for just trying to do what she thinks is best for her LO. The parenting criticism really REALLY bothered me.

    In other news, I have never 100% believed that sleep begets sleep, but my girl has been asleep 2 hours. She is normally Queen of 30 min crap naps! What is going on here?

    @PrincessBaby: Eeek! 2 hour nap? Heaven!!!

    Once we sleep trained (9 months) E started napping longer too.

    @littlek: I am pretty baffled by how much more organized life is when sleep is where it should be...Everything else falls in place around sleep!

    @HLK208: I'm seriously a tiny bit worried that something is wrong! Her head was warm/clammy earlier but not so much that I thought she had a fever, I just chalked it up to her being so hot-natured. But now I wish I would have taken her temp! This is officially the longest nap of her whole life!

    @PrincessBaby: Yes, naps and STTN make life great. B has moved to a 2 + hour nap and it is AWESOME.

    @PrincessBaby: Nope, he's on 1 nap. But when he was on 2 naps they were both crappy.

    @PrincessBaby: Honestly, as soon as we FINALLY got C's sleep ironed out, she started taking 2 2 hour naps. Before that, she was a 30 minute girl too. It made me a believer!

    Good luck with this! You're doing a wonderful job. Fight the good fight!

    @PrincessBaby: have you tried weaning down to two naps? A was also a crappy 30-40 minute napper for the most part and since about 8 months or so, we've done 2 naps (1-1.5 sometimes even 2 hours!) he sleeps 7-6 nurses, goes down again til 8/9. naps at 11 and 3 ish.

    She's been crying 30 mins but intermittently falling asleep...I think she's on the verge so I'm not going in

    If this girl puts half as much effort into her schoolwork as she does fighting sleep, I think we have a Harvard grad on our hands.

    I love her so much and I hate seeing her cry, but I KNOW that we'll both be better for it!!!

    @PrincessBaby: hang in there Mama!! I am sure the standing is just a phase.

    @PrincessBaby: WTG for hanging in there! Yep, the intermittent stuff is brutal . . . because you start to relax emotionally and when they start up again it jerks you back into anxious/guilt mode. *augh* My LO cried for almost 10 minutes tonight, and eventually (after stand up/ sit down/ stand up/ sit down) she grabbed her lamb, nommed its face, and the rolled over with it and fell asleep.
