I don't want to jinx myself, but...

My girls are absolute angels. The last two nights/mornings they have totally cooperated, i.e. going to bed early and waking up later! To top it off, they have been so sweet. Don't get me wrong, they are still total mama's girls, but I can't tell you how great they have been. Ruby even ate like a pig at dinner last night!!! Usually I can barely get her to eat a cracker by herself. Last night she ate a cheeseburger and some pasta. At one point she dropped some food on the table and could not pick it up with her hands, so she leaned over and ate it off the table! I know this is something that sounds gross, but if you know Ruby's eating habits, I'd let her eat off the sidewalk. Then there is my doll baby Abby. To back-track(especially for you, Azure:)), we did Babywise with Ruby. Between the stress of the first child, following the eating and sleeping guidelines... it was hard and a lot to live up to. With Abby, we feed her when she is hungry(as much as she wants) and put her to bed when she is tired. It has been so much easier and way less stressful. The one mistake we made, and I really do think it is a no-no, is putting Abby to bed with a bottle. It wasn't even really a decision or a conscious choice, it just kinda happened when she was about 5 months old. Bottom line, it was easy and it worked. She is 11 months old now, so last night I decided we shouldn't do it anymore. I put her to be a little before 8:00pm, she whimpered for maybe 3 minutes, then slept until 7:00am. No problem! I love my girls so much I can't stand it. P.S. we are going to the Foo Fighters tonight, I can almost guarantee that one or both will be up at 3:00 in the morning and tomorrow I'll be posting some bitter, tired message!!!
