Regrets

As I sit here listening to Mina cry, I'm really regretting the Toronto trip. Her sleep hasn't been too great ever since. Last night she woke up twice with the most pitiful screaming. We had to console her because she was showing no signs of soothing herself. Today she still hasn't fallen asleep for her nap. I went into her room and laid on the floor by the crib and she was as happy as can be, but she just cries and cries when I'm not with her. I'm almost ready to give up on her taking a nap today. What if this becomes the pattern? The number one thing I was worried about with our trip was that Mina's sleep would get screwed up. I'm so used to her taking at least a two hour nap in the afternoon by herself. I can't lay in bed with her every afternoon in order to get her to sleep. Where did my easy child go? We were away from her too long and now she's scared in her bed. This can't continue but I don't know what to do. For now, I'm heading up to snuggle her. Tonight I'll pull out the old sleep book to help me navigate my way back to good sleeping.

So that's my vent for the day.
