We have made a little progress with Elise, but she's still not sleeping through the night in a bed with her clothes on--and these pictures were taken at nap time:) Some nights are perfect, but those are few and far between. We usually put her back into bed from the floor several times a week, and I still have to put her clothes back on. (She is outgrowing the footed ones, so they're not backwards unless she does it several nights in a row.) I question why we bother with PJ's or
a bed? The other night I locked her in her room and didn't hear anything until 5:30am when she hurt herself somehow--I went to check, and she was only wearing her diaper and walking around the room looking lost. She also climbs in bed with us around 7am most mornings which is too early for me. Every night I go through the same routine with her and she repeats "No crying...No screaming...No mamas...No knocking...Stay in bed" but the brainwashing isn't working either. On the flip side, she is wanting to use the potty more and has stayed dry several times during the day. I'm optimistic that she will be good as gold when she turns three in November!!
I usually don't post things the girls day because they talk so much, but this is a new Elise quote: "My eyes are melting" when she has been crying & has tears.

Elise just has too much to do that she does not want to sleep and clothes...why bother. She is such a sweetie and I am so glad she and Katherine are becoming friends. I hope you get a good nights rest tonight.
I was just talking to Alice Fankhauser about this b/c she said Silas won't sleep with clothes on either - even at nap time. He just wears a diaper, but burrows (sp?) under blankets. Maybe letting her wear just a diaper (if she'll keep it on) will solve some of the problem??? I'm glad she's starting to stay dry during the day for you!
This cracks me up- esp the pic of her sleeping naked. I will always have a grin on my face when i think of little elise- she just always made me laugh- esp in the nursery trying everything out by biting it... so funny- we miss you guys- got a little catch up from Christy and Sam last night-
