Dear Eleanor,
Apparently my wish is your command! We have been sleep training you over the past few days, and you no longer sleep in our bed or the swing! You have spent 3 successful nights in your pack 'n play and even when you've woken up, you've gone back to sleep quickly after eating. We can put you to bed awake, and you put yourself to sleep! We are throwing out the swing today and couldn't be happier. You are sleeping well, Mommy and Daddy are sleeping well, and everyone is happy!
I'll build you that castle just as soon as I win the lottery.
Love,
Mommy

In There
Dear Isaac,
Big (great) Grandma gave you a very special gift for Valentine's Day. She gave you a recordable version of Guess How Much I Love You and read it for you and Eleanor so you can hear her whenever you like. As we were listening to the book this morning, you told me you'd like to go in there (the book) so you could see Big Grandma. I know she'd love to see you, too. You always have a great time together.
Love,
Mommy

Choices
Dear Eleanor,
I always like to give you and Isaac a few choices when it comes to the things you do. For Isaac, it's a bit easier, because he can tell me if he'd rather wear a red shirt or a gray one. With your limited communication skills, you can't tell me exactly what you'd like. I am going to give you three very clear options of where you may sleep:
1. In your crib.
2. In your pack n' play.
3. In your swing.
If you could read, or understand options, you'd notice that no where on this list are you offered the choice to sleep in MY BED. Somehow you have decided that this is the only place to sleep and are taking up prime real estate. There are many reasons I prefer you sleep elsewhere, among them: I end up having about 4 inches of bed to occupy, I don't sleep well because I fear I will roll on you and I do not appreciate being woken up by having my hair pulled to let me know you'd like to eat.
If you sleep in one of the places you're offered I'll build you a castle.
Love,
Mommy
