BIG DAY
Well, we have had a HUGE day. At 8:30 am we decided to take the kids to the beach. So we got everything all packed up and left right on Ciara's sleep time. She slept all the way there.
So after the beach we went and had some fish and chips for lunch, then went for a wander around the shops. Then it was time to come home, Ciara slept all the way, and Aodhan had a little snooze too.
This one was also using sandylion papers, and the title was cut with the craft robo. Gin x rub ons and some ribbon.
We didnt last very long at the beach, Ciara got grumpy and wanted her bottle (how, after the big meal of sand she had, I dont know ;) ). But we were there long enough to bury Daddy, build some castles, and go for a quick swim.
Aodhan LOVED the waves. We were at Torquay surf beach, and it was just perfect. Not a breath of wind, so tiny little shorebreakers. Got some really cool pics.
This is my fave. Have just printed it out in A4, and I am going to scrap it....of course!

Then it was time to come home, Ciara slept all the way, and Aodhan had a little snooze too.In other news, for the last couple of nights we have been doing controlled comforting with Ciara. You let her cry for 2 mins, then settle for 2 mins, the cry for 4 mins, settle for 4, cry for 6, settle for 6, 8, then 10. We have had to go to 6 mins, and then she has settled......and we hear nothing from her until 6:30am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So it appears to be working. We had both just had enough. I was existing on about 4-6 hrs/night, we were getting to the point where it was going to be divorce court. So I put my foot down ad said we have to do something. So we did. And so far so good!
And now for my DT layouts. 
This one was using sandylion papers, and the play was cut with the craft robo.

My handwriting sucks, I am sooooo regretting writing on it, because it looks terrible and I have to send the LO's for display at One Stop Scrapping. Will I never learn?
Well, I am off to get the sand out of everything, LOL! Have a good one and see you soon!

Hi Dee,
We had our first conversation her with 'controlled' in it regarding our little ones sleep. His problem is getting to sleep, once those eyes are shut we are usually OK for at least a few hours.
Hmmmmm.
Hope it all works out for you guys.
Love the pages Dee.
Hope the controlled crying keeps on working.
I love your LO's ... I think your writing is fine :-) but then I hate my writing too LOL
Hope the controlled comforting continues to get better :)
Dee...I absolutley adore your layouts...they are simply stunning girl!!
I just had a thought when you mentioned regretting writing on your layout...Ive done that before too...and ended up journalling on the computer and cutting it into strips to cover over my writing...just a thought.
But...in all honesty...I think your writing looks fab.

Love that photo of your dear one with tongue on the glass window/door. How precious is that photo.
Hope the controlled crying works too. Having 'not enuf' sleep is what will kill any mother.
Take care Dee
Glad to hear it's working so far....Hope it continues!
