Keep these coming! Thank you so much for making me feel better. I just realized that I didn't say something positive too! I have the most fantastic conversations with LB. Life is never boring with him. His enthusiasm for learning matches mine.
LC amazes me everyday. We just figured out that she knows the color yellow--if you ask her to get the yellow object she can pick it every time!
I spoke with a wonderful sleep consultant/psychologist (who didn't even charge me!) today about LC's habit of waking up at the 40 minute mark and screaming for an hour every night before falling asleep (if we go in she literally won't go to sleep AT ALL and gets into this weird wired, overly tired state). She said that some crying is actually GOOD for intelligent, sensitive babies like LC. Apparently they receive so much more sensory input during the day than ND babies that some need to cry at night to help them process everything that happened during the day. Basically it's a way of letting off steam. She said it should eventually stop once LC is talking. She said to ignore Dr. Sears and stop feeling guilty. I hope no one flames me for this...I was really against crying-it-out until we were confronted with this situation.
