Plus I think she should start sleeping in our room I've been worried that she'll have a nightmare again and the fact she could've hurt herself when she ran out in the hallway. It's made me worried."

robehouse Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 "Its a sad story. She was a friend of Alexis's and her family kicked her out of the house. She didn't have anywhere to go. Of course we let her move in with us. We caught her sleeping with a pacifier and a blankie and decided to make her our little girl. I think it's been helping her as much as it has been helping us. Don't you think so, Alexis?" Link to comment

robehouse Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 "I don't know. If we keep letting her nap, she might not want to go to bed when we tell her to tonight. Is she going to sit in a regular chair at the table? She might keep nodding off and falling out of her chair." Link to comment
Skylove27 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 "True but it's only been a half hour. If we do wake her up now, we can have her sit in a highchair or in one of our laps." Alexis says. Link to comment
robehouse Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 "Alright. Go ahead and set the high chair up and I'll go wake her up.." Jimmy walked to the playroom and bent over the pack n play. "Baby, It's time to wake up. Alexis and Emma fixed us some lunch, so it's time to eat. Come on, honey." Link to comment
