It is what I want most for Christmas. I want to be able to rock this one while she is still small enough to want me to. My husband thinks I'm crazy, your post suggests that maybe (just maybe) I'm not!Vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508647658368782915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-35921069972740537922009-11-04T12:36:29.657-05:002009-11-04T12:36:29.657-05:00When Sissy was about 18 months, I had an epiphany ...When Sissy was about 18 months, I had an epiphany and announced that we had not held her enough. She had hit her can't-sit-still-for-10-seconds phase (that still hasn't ended!) I promised that I wouldn't have that regret with any other children we might have. 6 years later, Lucky was born. He is now rushing towards his 3rd birthday in January and has yet to go to sleep (except in his carseat) without being held or snuggled. He never bonded with a blanket or toy or snuggly - despite our best efforts. His snuggly is someone's "goosel" (an Alabama term referring to the soft spot on your neck extending from under your chin to that little dent between your shoulder blades.)<br /><br />Yes, it is challenging at times. Yes, it is wonderful every single time. (well, not so much when he needs his nails cut.)<br /><br />Go and spoil Micah. One day you'll look back and wish for more snuggle - no matter how much he gets now, you'll always wish for more. He'll outgrow it soon enough.<br /><br />Excuse me, my big little boy needs my goosel.Kerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08472241005977420201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-9081796673515229002009-11-04T12:24:40.034-05:002009-11-04T12:24:40.034-05:00I love rocking the kids to sleep, although Benjy d...I love rocking the kids to sleep, although Benjy doesn't like it as much - something about being 15. :)<br /><br />Seriously though, I would love to rock Timmy to sleep in a chair. Unfortunately, he has some sort of altitude problem - in fact all the kids seemed to have the same problem, to a degree. He likes to be rocked from a standing (mine) position. Jenni can get him to sleep by rocking him - I think Timmy likes his momma better than me.Roger Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831602215904873587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-83228036921960694362009-11-04T11:11:35.679-05:002009-11-04T11:11:35.679-05:00Yeah, but the experimenting is not done with Becky...Yeah, but the experimenting is not done with Becky. I remind MA often that I have she's my practice kid and my the time I get to the other two I've got a better handle on things. I make most of my mistakes with her. Oye!

I loved every one of them. <br />There wasn't as much time for rocking her sister when she came along, but she HATED rocking. She was cuddly enough, but she wanted to go. to. bed. So she did. It ended up working out great, cause by that time Kes was going to bed to fall asleep as well.HalfAsstic.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082110012779351659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-85675074861009182122009-11-03T23:36:22.974-05:002009-11-03T23:36:22.974-05:00The only way not to spoil a child is to have anoth...The only way not to spoil a child is to have another one.
