It is so cool to be able both to hear and see e in her bed. I put her down for a nap about 20 minutes ago. She's been standing up, lying down, sitting, playing with her...oops. The bear just hit the floor and the tears are in earnest now. I'd better go upstairs and help her relax again.
(About 15 minutes later). All is well. It took three tissues to wipe her nose (and both shoulders of my sweatshirt) and several minutes of rocking and holding to soothe her to sleep. Conundrum---we want her to use the plush bear to comfort herself, and it appears to work. But what do we do when it lands on the floor outside her crib, either accidentally or apparently on purpose? We don't want it to become a game, "How many times can I drop this and Grandma picks it up before it stays on the floor?" But we want to respond to her needs. It's a challenge of balance.
We are still trying to get e to use a sippy cup for her milk but not having much luck.
