On Her Own . . . Finally!!

I'm waiting with bated breath . . .

Here we are the first full week of school. It's Monday night and Charity was lying there still awake after being in our bed with Daddy at least 1 1/2 hour.

I came upstairs discovering this and was slightly frustrated. I don't know what hit me tonight, but I felt as the time was right.

So I told Charity if she would go in her bed and fall asleep on her own than tomorrow we would go to The Dollar Tree and pick out a prize, as well of every night she does this. Of course, she had mixed feelings but it's been about an hour, and I think she did it!!! I'm shocked, but ohhhh so happy. Our lives will be completely changed if she can get to sleep on her own. Dave thinks this is the best $1/a day we've ever spent!! Up until this point either Dave or I has had to lie down with her until she falls asleep, some nights this can take hours.

This is BIG!!! :) . . . now I'm just wondering why I didn't think of this sooner?!?!
