I did not feed Shannon. Instead, I took myself off to the spare room and DH Bill did wonderful soothing and calming work. Which meant that Shannon had only one session of crying-till-she-was-almost-sick but the rest of the night was relatively peaceful. Not that she didn't wake up - she did, and although I was in the spare room I woke up every time that she did, as of course did DH - but although she woke probably more frequently than normal, she would just call out for Daddy, complain a bit, clutch his hand, and fall back to sleep reasonably quickly.
I am soooooo hoping that things continue to improve. As, of course, is Bill. Poor soul, he is totally wrecked today, having had to go to work of course.
The rest of us had a peaceful morning at home, during which Jade did lots of painting, very creatively I thought, and did some Reader Rabbit CD-Rom, which is far too easy for her mostly but is still good for concentration and memory.
And I made headway into the washing mountain that is still towering from before our holiday.
This afternoon Jade went to school and enjoyed herself doing some PE, and hearing a story. That's all she told me anyway. There was probably more. Straight after school we visited some friends, then home for tea, much playing and a late (9pm) bedtime for the girls.

great on the night weaning
yes, wow and well done to both of you for surviving a night - hope it won't take too many more!
here's to many more and many better nights! and here's to Bill getting some sleep soon too ;-)
hope ti goes well with the nights. We did the same sort of thing with BB, as if she was with Helen she just kept on wanting to feed - and scream madly if she didn't get it.. If she was in another room then moslty with a bit of grumbling she would go back off to sleep with me. took some persistence, and din't always happen. If she made enough fuss, and screamed enough we figured she really did need it. but we got there - now night waking is a rare ocurence.
