We used to use it at work all the time for those plastic loops you attach tags with, as in "Will you had me some doohickeys, please?" "Do you need big doohickeys, or little doohickeys?" And we always got what we needed.) Anyway, it might be easier (although, now I think about it, maybe not at this time of year) to find one of the ones used for Ukrainian Easter egg decorating. Would that work? Or does that kind not hold enough wax? Just a though.<BR/><BR/>I also vote for going back to the crib if possible. Unless she had started climbing out of the crib, 'cause that's dangerous. In that case, give her melatonin before bed, and see if that makes her fall asleep better (my pediatrician recommended it, since my son has decided that staying up all night reading is okay, and then he's a cranky mess the next day. Works like a charm.).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-28874750723886597112008-11-07T14:58:00.000-05:002008-11-07T14:58:00.000-05:00Dude, I haven't slept in my own bed with ONLY my h...Dude, I haven't slept in my own bed with ONLY my husband in a continuous night for three years.

I got a book on this, which was recommended to me as really helpful, and found I was already doing all the "sleep-promoting" tips they listed. My kids have early, regular bedtimes with a predictable before-bed schedule. I don't give them chocolate or soda. And on and on. They just. Don't. Sleep enough. And I am sooooo tired and cranky.amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.com
