Thr Dreaded 8 o clock hour

My little one has a fussy hour. Does yours? Hers is 8 PM, everyday. I thought we were in the clear since she napped at different times than her usual schedule. 8:15- yay! We did it! Sound asleep 8:25- Molly screaming a horrible cry. It makes my heart ache when she cries this way. No bottle, paci, hold, sway cannot fix.the only thing that calms her for a few seconds is me making sounds. I've been trying to remember lyrics to all lullabys but whe ,n she cries uncontrollably, I draw blanks! And the only thing that comes out of my mouth is "Ma ma ma.. me me me" and she pauses and seems to stare at me with a confused expression. I can't help but laugh sometimes. My mouth got tired of saying "ma me" endlessly. DUH! There are other vowels! "Ma ma ma. Meh meh meh. Mi mi mi. Mo mo mo. Muh muh muh. And sometimes My my my." I bought myself afew more seconds! Right on! Well the 8 PM cryfest usually lasts and hour, hour fifteen tops. So come 9:15-ish, she had settled down. Still wide awake. My favorite time! I pulled out her little play mat, jungle gym looking thinger for the first time. Wow! She loved it! All the colors caught her attention. She was kicking and waving her arms frantically. Her eyes were wide with excitement! About 10 minutes later I she was getting pooped. I pulled her from under there to make sure play mat stays a happy and enjoyable place. 10:30, still awake and calm. I was liking it but I myself was wearing down. 11PMsweet! She is drifting off. Just enough energy to finish this post and occasionally pat her on her back to keep asleep. Time for this mama to nap! Good night world!
