1. She is growing bigger by the day
2. She is feeding well (only once at night, last feed at about 8pm, first feed at about 8am)
3. Though she doesn't nap well, she sleeps pretty well at night
4. She has now learnt that napping is part of her routine (although she only naps about 30mins and often struggles to get back to sleep)
5. She can sit on the rocker and play with her toys all by herself for about half an hour or even more
6. When she wakes up early in the morning, say around 7am, she will continue to stay in bed quietly until she's hungry at about 8am.
7. She enjoys her playtime very much, smiles a lot, giggles etc. :)
8. She has learnt to suck her fingers and self-sooth to sleep at night (though she still needs the pacifier to settle herself at times)
9. Although she does throw tantrums during feeding and sleep time (never at playtime haha :p), she also displays obedience at times.
When I learn to give thanks for Candra, I realise that her "sleep" problem isn't that great afterall. Every kid poses a different challenge to his/her parent. I may think that Candra isn't an easy child to look after because she refuses to nap and to give her little body the needed rest in the day, but who knows, my next child might give me a different problem i.e. sleeping too much in the day and not sleeping at night :)
I really need to focus on all the good things about her, and less about the challenges she causes me to face :p
