Backslide

We have had a major backslide in the sleeping. Kira has been so good at putting herself to sleep for naptime and bedtime, that it took us completely by surprise when she stopped. She was fine one night and the next night she came running out every 30 minutes or so to find us. And it never stopped. We are going on 3 weeks now of not sleeping well. We have tried sitting with her to help her fall asleep, stickers as rewards, following a bedtime routine, moving bedtime back (and forward, too!). Nothing is really working. So, what we need now is prayer. Prayer that she will go to sleep soon, because if Kira doesn't sleep, then nobody else does either!

Pop goes the keys...

Since my computer was having so much trouble, I splurged on a new laptop a couple of weeks ago. So far, I really love it...and so does Kira. She loves the slide show of all my pictures that pops up as a screen saver. And, last night, she loved popping off all the keys on the keyboard! Ack! I wa in shock when I came into the room and realized what I was looking at. Of course, I was able to pop most of them back on. My shift key and my enter key, though, are not quite right...and may never be like they should be. I have to order a new shift key to make it work as part of the spring is missing. The odd part was that I am a fast, no sight of the keys needed kind of typist. But, when it came to putting all those keys back on, I could not remember where most of them went! It was a challenging puzzle to say the least! So, I guess it's no more slide show for Kira for a while. Until i can figure out a safe way to keep it at eye level again...
