We have stumbled upon an amazing discovery. We have finally solved a mind-boggling mystery. And the answer, the glorious answer, was so simple I could hardly believe it! At first I thought it was a fluke. After the second time, I thought it was surely pure coincidence. But after the third time it's a pattern, right?
Cookie monster and friends pictured above is our simple yet brilliant solution.
Let me start at the beginning. Grace has her own room and her own bed and she sleeps there. She's been sleeping in her room since she was six weeks old, but for months, nay, years, Grace has been waking up in the middle of the night - roughly 2am to be precise. And she cries and comes to our bedroom. So I usually get up and take her back to her room and stay with her until she goes back to sleep. Some nights this happens 2-3 times. It's exhausting.
But then we had company come in town and our guest, Melissa, stayed in Grace's room. So we put a pallet on our floor with David's old Cookie Monster and Sesame Street friends sleeping bag. And Grace loved it! After Melissa left, Grace still wanted her "seepin bag" (sleeping bag) and went to our room and crawled back into it ready to go to bed.
David got the bright idea to put the Cookie Monster sleeping bag on her bed.
And it worked! Grace crawled right in and went to sleep. And slept the whole night through!
Three nights in a row now! Cookie Monster sleeping bag, I think I love you.
