Stubborn Like Her Father

So, the other day Trevor was watching the baby while I was at work. She would NOT go to sleep. Frustrated, he decided to put her in the crib and let her cry it out. She knows how to stand up against the crib, so once you get to that point, you know she ain't goin' to sleep. Why? Because she's STUBBORN. I'm not stubborn. That's one thing I can say about me. That's the good side. The bad side is that I give in really easy and forgive people quickly--so quickly sometimes that I forget what the did and don't learn from it. And I expect everyone else to forgive ME quickly, which doesn't always happen. Anyway, I'm not stubborn. She gets this from her daddy. There are times when that kid ain't going down without a fight.

Do you want proof? Well here it is. After standing against the crib, crying, and INSISTING she would NOT go to sleep, she finally quieted down. Surprised, Trevor went to check on her. This is what he found.

Now, maybe out there in Mommy land you are nodding your head and saying, "oh yeah, ALL babies do that. My kid did that five times. A day. For five years. That is nothing new and exciting." If this what you are thinking, keep it to yourself. Because in MY Mommy land, this is friggin' hilarous.

Well, I've NEVER seen it so it's hilarious to me too! That's awesome. Way to go on the "cry it out" thing. i don't know why it took us getting to our second kid to figure out that is REALLY IS the only way to go.
