Lucky side benefits
Little Lola inherited Eric's hard-to-breathe genes so it was no surprise to anyone that she started using medicine to regulate her coughing. She uses an inhaler and she's supposed to breathe in the medicine for a certain number of breaths per puff.
Lucky side benefit: Lola now can count to 20. At some point, we started counting the breaths aloud and she started to recite with us. Now she automatically starts counting (which causes her to take breaths, bonus!) and she's really, really good at it. She'll count just about anything you put in her path and she proudly proclaims "I counting!'
At a young age, little Lola learned how to climb out of her crib so we obtained a crib tent to restrain her in her bed overnight. We combined that effort with some professional Sleep Clinic help and we suddenly had a kid who slept a decent amount of interrupted time each night. Lola learned that she could not leave her crib no matter how hard she tried, so she gave up trying.
Lucky side benefit: She learned to love her bed. She wakes up in the morning and happily plays in her crib with her various loveys, she sings songs, she counts, she talks very loudly, and has a great time. She also sleeps in more and more. She stirs when the house stirs, so on the weekends we all sleep in to 6:30 - 7 a.m. It is glorious! The gift of sleep is deeply appreciated in our house!
