Finally! Sleeping through the night!


As I was laying in bed last night I was thinking...mmmm, I don't remember the last time Peyton has woke up during the night??
You see: Peyton has NEVER slept through the night and she is almost 4 years old. I spent our first year together out in the living room with her bassinet and me sleeping on the couch because she would only sleep 20-30 minutes at a time and Trent would have to work early in the morning. It's not even like she had her days and nights mixed up- she wouldn't even sleep during the day.
Things got a little better after her first year but she still managed to need me or something in the middle of the night. I tried every advice that people would throw my way and NOPE she still would not go through the night.
Well life really must be busy because I really don't remember when she started sleeping through the night, perhaps a month or two ago?
I remember literally praying to god some of those sleepless nights that she even sleep through 5 hours, and he did answer my prayers almost 4 years later, but looking back I had some of the most tender moments just her and I on those sleepless nights pacing the floor,soothing her, and loving her. So I assume that god knew what was best for us after all~
