Why the Liv Rm? She has her own room!

My hugs to my baby -

Do you need movies or a VHS player? You dont' have one? I may have an extra if you want it. Used of course - but still -

And as far as her not sleeping in her room - Sometimes a crisp fresh set of new sheets and washed bedclothes, with a sprinkle of some type of baby talcum powder on the bed - some fluffed pillows and a special blanket.

In our house it's called the HarleyDave Blanket - It's this HUGE black and orange fuzzy blanket, heavy and even when one of the dogs gets sick THAT's the blanket.....everyone wants to lay under. It seems it's the right weight and texture no matter what the illness....(unless of course it is a migraine) then nothing works.

I think everyone is right - she's trying to have white noise - it's too quiet in her room - how about some of those CD's that play background music like rain, rain forest, babbling brook, (unless Brooke talks too much and then she is annoying), or ocean waves - or night crickets or loons on a lake or my favorite - thunder storm. ????

And if all else fails - since SHE is in the living room - YOU go work in HER room. lol

(well...I'm not a total genius) lol

Oh, thanks Star! We have a dvd and vhs player in the living room. We just don't believe in putting tv's in kids rooms. If we had an extra I would when they are sick (have in the past) or having a sleepover. But the portable dvd player isn't working and after she broke the screen on the other laptop I refuse to let her use mine to watch dvds.

You guys are all great. She is still cranky and grumbling at us, but last night she apologized for being so mean and said she understood why I wanted her in her room.

Okay - now I'm off to find a bigger box...lol.

Sometimes when a person feels miserable, the only thing that makes them feel better is to make everyone else feel miserable. That's how it is when my dh is sick or hurting.

She probably just doesn't want to be alone, even though she hurts so that everything around her bugs her. Glad she apologized and at least sees that she's being miserable. Hope she feels a bit better.
