I have always been one to say that my girls can sleep anywhere, will travel just fine and adjust to just about any new environment. This has been true up until this trip. We have traveled through the night in the car, put them down in strange houses and transitioned them from crib to crib without any problem. Unfortunately, they seem to have lost this trait somewhere during their trek back home.
We have been home for four nights and they have only gone to bed once without crying. These are girls who love to sleep, especially Lila. Lila seems to be the culprit in this situation too. One night she cried for almost two hours. What is the deal? Shouldn't she be melting into her crib that she missed for 28 days? That is what I expected but that isn't what we are experiencing.
It would be different if we were trying to transition her to a new place. I would have much more sympathy. Right now I am just plain frustrated. Last night, Lila got Adeline going as well which, of course, caused Adeline to throw up her entire bottle all over herself and her crib.
We have never had problems with our girls going down. And no, it isn't selective memory that most parents use when describing their child's sleep habits. These girls are excellent sleepers and sleep more hours of the day than any other children I know. If I loose this or their easy transition to their beds, what will I do?
Here is hoping that we go down tonight without a fight.
