Adrianna has gone to bed the last 2 nights WITHOUT SCREAMING! We have kept the same routine but modified it a little.
A few thoughts:
1. She has been outside almost all day every day since we have gotten our swingset. She could just be extremely tired!
2. She decided that this screaming bit was making mommy and daddy too upset so she wanted to stop......ha ha:)
We have been reading a devotional to her a night which she really seems to like and listen to quite intently. There aren't even any pictures! We also put on Gregorian Chant and I usually rub her back for about 5-7 minutes.
I'm not sure what it is exactly that has caused her not to scream but something is working!
It was such a coincidence that our devotional last night was about making good choices. We are trying to point out to her that she has a choice in everything and she has liked that.
Miss Independant likes making her own decisions!
I'm am praying that we can keep teaching her how to make good choices and this no screaming thing will continue!

AMEN! At least for this weeekend!!!!!!!!!
I need some sleep!! ha ha
Hooray! I hope it continues for your sake.
I wonder if the few moments you spend rubbing her back gives her that quality time and physical affection she enjoys so much - and it calms her down. Keep it up!! =)
I guess that means that I'm off the hook for putting her to bed..hehe.
Nice work!
