And she hates trying on new clothes too...unless it was a new hockey shirt.<br /><br />Interesting about the sleeping with Annabelle. Ciera 9age 4 1/2) does sleep on her own but the odd time I do lie down with her she also has to be right on me. This started recently after my dad died, so I think for kids maybe this is a loss issue and that if you are right there and they can feel you to them it means you are not moving or going anywhere. I reassure Ciera alot these days that I am not going anywhere, but I realize it's tricker for Annabelle due to the language. There are so great kids books outto do with parents leaving and comes back, one I can thnk off off the top of my head is "mama always comes back", but again you have the language barrier to deal with.<br /><br />If you are not already doing so I woudl try for soem naps during the day, hang in there it will get better.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09153867522613662874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179434167621237157.post-33433818773568127142010-01-20T12:16:36.996-04:002010-01-20T12:16:36.996-04:00Hi, diff. not to get sleep.
