Cue the Music

Since we returned from our weekend trip, Nora has been have trouble sleeping. It's surprising because, on our travels, she managed to take two naps over 2 days at different grandma's houses AND she actually fell asleep at the hotel without all of us having to go to sleep with her. So, this crying thing until 9:30 or 10 was unexpected. Then last night I had an idea, and gave it a try. She was asleep within minutes.

And what was this magic trick you might ask? I replaced the batteries in her lullaby aquarium. Yah, the one she's had in her crib since she was 2 months old. The one with the dead batteries for the past 2 days.

Talk about a "duh" moment.

I also realized last night that we definitely should have bought stock in D batteries way back when Owen was born (or at least two sets of rechargables). Both kids have been attached to those musical aquariums in their cribs. I think Owen's was there until he moved to a bed around age 3.

We weaned Jack from his like six months ago because he was staying up hitting the button for like two hours. But I am about to try it with Miss NoSleep in a few days.
