Ever since I was little I admired street artists and Guinness record breakers performing the art of plate spinning, years later my daily life feels just like that. I have many commitments up in the air.. trying manically to keep them all turning - a 2 yr old, a 1 year old, work, husband, animals and the house... Dashing to and fro, hoping to just keep them all turning!

Sleep per chance to dream...


Well baby girl is 2 weeks off her first birthday and still wakes every two hours in the night...

I have tried most suggestions out there, but my biggest challenge is the noise disturbance for my son and how tired and cranky he is getting.

Whilst he is a two year old and people respond well he is two - he is only very occasionally a typical two year old.. most of the time when not extremely tired or pushed too far - he is a happy and communicative little boy!

But these days sometimes within an hour of getting up he is asking to go back to bed.. he doesn't go as I don't want to mess with his routine and it is just his way of complaining that he is tired. However it does put pressure on me - to ensure baby girl doesn't further disturb his sleep!

I know some moms just say their baby turned a corner at say 15months and started sleeping better! I just can't decide at this stage without a crystal ball whether I should be pushing on and ensuring she 'learns to sleep' or just keep going until she gets there in a nice gentle fashion on her her own! My concern is twelve months from now I will be blogging that she still doesn't know how to settle herself and she is having an even harder time than if I pushed her now!

Her brother started sleeping through at 5 months and apart from the odd transitional time, or like now - has been great at night! So I am stumped - my gut is not giving me a clear sign! Ho hum!
