For the last few nights, DD has been awake several times coughing. She immediately puts herself back to sleep, but she sounds dry and uncomfortable.

Thinking I am a total genius, tonight I put a sippy cup of water in the corner of her crib so it would be there if she needed it in the middle of the night.

Instead, she has decided it is an awesome toy and is still awake, alternating between drinking and cuddling with her sippy cup. Fail.
