Hana is a week old; Maya is starting to get it
Our Hana is one week old today! She’s plumping up quite nicely, loves to sleep, and is a great cuddler on the glider. We could not be happier.
Maya has realized that Hana is here to stay. She realized it the last
two nights at bedtime, 9:30-10:30, midnight, and a 5 a.m. wake-up call.
In a very loud voice. It is hard to know whether we should go in her
room and reassure her, or be consistent with our prior bedtime policy of
letting her cry and comfort herself. We let her cry last night (with one
visit from me), and I got up with her early this morning, but am drawing
a pretty tough line with the daytime tantrums. Which, of course, only
happen with mom and dad. This too will pass (my parenting mantra)…
