So we have been playing musical beds now for the passed week or so. Tripp has joined in on the fun of getting out of bed at night to sleep with us. The problem is, sleeping with Gentry and Tripp in our bed is quite crowded because they sleep sideways, kick, etc. They are all over the place waking us and each other up. Matthew and I have taken turns sleeping in the guest bedroom with one of the kids while the other stays in our bed. The guest bed is only a full size, so there is not a lot of room there either. Last night Gentry and I went in about 3AM. She proceeded to fall off the bed and knock over the plant and tray on the nightstand at about 4AM. From there on out, it was morning time for me. I was so on edge that she was going to fall off again, I could not get back to sleep. Matthew and I have been talking about "ferberizing" both of them. This is just letting them cry it out and locking them in their room. Sounds terrible, but it supposedly works after only a few days to a week. We finally decided we were going to start two days ago. Gentry must have heard us talking because that same day she got fever and ended up having two ear infections. Tripp followed suit and has been coughing his head off. They both coughed for 4 hours straight yesterday to the point that Gentry threw up 3 times in a row she was coughing so hard. Anyway, we are now giving both breathing treatments and an antibiotic cough syrup. So, we are going to try ferberizing again once they are well.
On another note, I can recite every line in Beauty and the Beast.... I can also sing every song. The songs will not leave my head, it's all I sing all day and all night.
