Sleeping Better

October 2nd, 2009 by prettythoughts

Since I am a first time Mom with a child that is under one year, most would think that if I were to have sleepless nights it would be because of my baby. This however is not the case. My daughter is an amazing sleeper and has been sleeping through the night since she was about 3 1/2 months old. My dog however is who keeps us up at night once in a while. She is 16 1/2 years old, and is a spunky little thing! She gets hot in our bedroom and night so we used to keep her water in our room. She would drink in the middle of the night and then have to go pee. Also, she and our other dog sleep pretty much all day and then when it’s time to go to bed around 11 PM they want to play. So my husband came up with the idea of keeping our bedroom door closed most of the day (where they like to nap) so that they are forced to walk around the house and stay active most of the day. I must say it has been working the last few days since we have started this. Now I open the bedroom door when my daughter naps so that my whole house is quiet at once. The nap when she does and I am free to relax and do whatever. Tippy lies on her blanket (that used to be ours, lol) and Stitch sleeps in his usual spot -under our night stand. They are so dang cute and are such amazing pets. My daughter loves them too. <3
