To achieve my new year resolution of letting Lil Shauna sleeping on her own, we have shifted our bed and moved her cot into the master bedroom. We are letting her sleep in her cot in attempt to wean her off sleeping with us on our bed. She's getting bigger, both in age and size and has inherited my "shui xiang". It is so super squeezy for the 3 of us to share a bed.
Surprisingly, the first few nights went smoothly. Lil Shauna actually slept thru' the night. Just when I tot that everything is fine, she woke up at unearthly hours for the past week.
When that happens, I will move her to the bed and hope that she will go back to dreamland on her own. However, that rarely happens. She will go "wooooo" and "ahhhh" and entertain herself for awhile. Then she will go into the "eh..eh..eh" mode accompanied by violent kicks. Given no choice, I will make milk and that normally does the trick.
Last night, she again woke up at about 4am. She was waving her arms and kicking wildly when I tried to pick her up from the cot. Seeing that, I know that it is impossible for her to go back to sleep without the milk. Daddy Lim was just returning from using the toilet and decided that he will use the sofa instead. Ended up, Lil Shauna was happily turning and tossing on the big bed, while I was trying to steal a little bit more sleep before moving my big butt to make milk. Tired leh.
I tried to ignore Lil Shauna despite her repeated kicks. When I finally peeped at her, I was surprised to see that she was sitting up! I didnt know that she can sit up by herself from a lying position. My mum didnt say anything about that either. Then Lil Shauna attempted to stand up by using me as a supported. To prevent her from falling, I ended her mission and made her milk.
I told Daddy Lim about the sitting incident this morning but tot that it might be an one-off incident. However, just before her bedtime, Lil Shauna made 2 successful attempts for Daddy Lim & me. Our Lil Shauna has learnt a new trick! Hehe.
