My sisters and I grew up with Brad and his family in Trinity, NC. I happened to see your link through a mutual friend...The Ushers. I met you and your family one time at the Kellum's house. I think you only had 2 kids then, so congrats on the third. We actually just had our first son 5 months ago. What a blessing they are! I just wanted to introduce myself so you wouldn't see a stranger following your blog. Tell Brad I said hello!<BR/>Good luck with getting your kids to sleep through the night. I don't have much experience (obviously) but my son is 5 months old and he sleeps through the night pretty good. I spoiled him by rocking him to sleep but then my Doctor said the reason he kept getting up in the middle of the night is because he woke up and needed me to aid him back to sleep. So now, we had to pick a fight for a few nights but I lay him down in his crib awake and he falls asleep on his own. Just pray for strength, that's the best help I've been given! :) Good luck! <BR/>Take care, <BR/>StephanieSpargo 3https://www.blogger.com/profile/11442639216990674920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214660406783970371.post-53384349037126543552009-01-09T04:57:00.000-08:002009-01-09T04:57:00.000-08:00Hi Nicole!

She did a reward system that gave them a star for every night they slept in their own beds. At the end of so many stars, she bought them a toy or movie or gave them some other reward. Not sure if that will work with your children or not, but it worked like a charm for her. OH, and she bought a "noise machine" for their rooms since the noise from the apartments they live in was apparently waking them up. That's helped us with Hampton too. Just an idea.UsherHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202754339208426399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214660406783970371.post-91049394644027307542008-11-15T06:29:00.000-08:002008-11-15T06:29:00.000-08:00You can't imagine how touching it is to know I've ...You can't imagine how touching it is to know I've been able to help you.
