I wont do that!

It's amazing how many things you thought you'd never do...you actually end up doing.  Ever since I've wanted kids, I've always had this list in my mind about the things I would and would not do.  I'd hear of people doing certain things with their kids and think to myself I'd never do that!.  Little did I know that what I did or did not want to do completely clashed with reality.  I've always wanted to make sure that the girls didn't depend on me being in their room/rocking/singing/laying with them in order to fall asleep.  My best friend once told me that she started rubbing her daughter's back while she fell asleep because she liked it.  Fast forward just a little bit and then her daughter couldn't fall asleep unless she was doing that.  When Izzy got into a toddler bed, I was adamant that I wouldn't do one certain thing like that so that she didn't start to depend on it.  It was going really well too!!  The only time I would let her into Grant's and my bed was if it was after a certain time, like 5am.  If it was before that, I would walk or carry her back into her own bed.  Then she started saying she was scared.  At first I think she really was legit scared, so I would sit in her room or rock in the chair until she fell asleep so she wouldn't be scared.  Well now it's hard to get her to stay in bed if I'm not in the room.  I've started to revert back to when she first got the bed.  If she came out, I would just take her hand and lead her right back.  Not say a word or anything.  It's not going the best, but I think after a bit, she'll figure it out again.  I really hope so!!
