Play hard. Sleep harder.

When you're 11 months old, playing is serious business!  Both of the kids rooms are kid proof, so we keep their doors open so they can go in and out when they want.  Dan noticed Evie had been away for a little while and was very quiet.  That usually means they're doing something they shouldn't.  In this case, it means she wore herself out...




Ah, this picture explains it...




The ol' thumb in the mouth trick.  Evie can instantly put herself to sleep by sucking on her thumb.  She doesn't suck on it any other time.  But when you tell her it's time to go "night night", she'll drink her bottle and as soon as she's done, the thumb goes in and she's out!  I'm transitioning her from bottle to sippy cup at nap time, so hopefully she keeps this up.  Wish us luck!
