My girl has been having trouble sleeping lately. We’ve been trying hard to find out the problem but from the looks of it, I don’t think there is. I’ve come to deduce that her sleeping pattern has just simply changed. And this sleep transition is anything but easy for my poor kid.

But, as what they’ve been saying is true – patience do pay. Though it was rather tough on us all, she seems to be getting back on track especially for her afternoon naps which she has had the most difficulty doing. This photo is proof of that fact as I found her fast asleep on the mattress one afternoon. And I’m happy to report that she’s been napping ever since, on that very mattress :-D

    It’s really hard when sleep patterns change. I am happy she is slowly getting back on track.

    Sleep. What is sleep, but a dreamworld — or for us parents a dream. Sleeping patterns are change too quickly with kids…I ask myself, how do they have the energy! Sweet dreams…

    Cafemommy : I ask myself that too especially when I am too exhausted and she wants one more piggy-back ride…sigh
