Has the Lamb Stopped Screaming Clarice?






What you see in these pictures is a happy sweet little girl who says "Cheese" and squints her eyes when you take a picture of her. She loves to paint, a lot. She loves to run "fast" as she says. She loves noodles. She loves milk. She loves to dress like "Maisie". She says the cutest things. She's adorable as can be.

But oh, my, god. She is driving us crazy. She has serious tantrums about going to sleep. You give her the milk, she falls asleep, you put her in cribie. SHE WAKES UP AND SCREAMS, and you say "it's night night time, night night love." ARMS OUT SCREAMING. She will not back down, she will scream and cry and wipe boogers on her face for as long as you can possibly stand it. I fear we have created a monster. A screaming, milk guzzling, non sleeping, not eating, stubborn monster. I think she needs an intervention.

And I need a drink.

She just needs to visit her grandma is all.

I've read you're supposed to put them to bed when they're still drowsy but not asleep yet (something about reducing the startling discovery of having teleported into their crib or whatever).

Good luck!
