All this time that Elisa and I thought we were over-tired, the problem might really have been that Eden was over-tired. I think we have been over-stimulating her to the point that she wasn’t getting enough restful sleep. Because she is so cute, there’s always someone who wants to hold her and rock her. And with grandmas here, there is always some conversation going on. I think we all need some quiet moments. We’re trying to watch her cues better for signs of sleepiness. Sometimes when she is cranky we’ve recognized that the problem is that she needed to be in bed. Everytime we figure out something like this it makes us feel like geniuses in the parenting department.
