Still no sleep for the wicked, but thanks to everyone who has e-mailed me with advice! If anyone else has more, keep it coming! Julia has an appointment next week with the respiratory specialist to examine further the possibility of pediatric sleep apnea, but the tonsilectomy is postponed till at least January. Meanwhile, we're altering the daytime and bedtime routines a bit in hopes of seeing a bit of improvement. Julia really likes the new addition of "getting the wiggles out" before bed -- thanks, Bonnie--where we shake out the wiggles from the day and then give her a massage while Matt "catches" all the wiggles as they escape and takes them (still wiggling, of course) away from her bed so she can sleep well. Even if it doesn't get her sleeping, it does get lots of giggles!

That sounds like so much fun. I hope that fun and loving attention translate into sleep for hours and hours. Of course Julia already has such good associations with The Wiggles.
I loved seeing all the recent pics of Julia & Liam. They are changing and areso cute. I hope the sleep problem with Julia is soon solved. Love. Gma
