Last night was one of the worst nights we had in about 7-9 months.  Madison woke up SCREAMING at 1:30 am, I went into her room and started to rock her, which usually works, after about a minute I can usually lay her back down.  However, last night every time I even attempted to get up she started screaming again.  After about 1/2 hr. I just put her in her crib.  She immediately started screaming again and after about 10 min. Matt went in.  When she saw him she began to scream louder, I guess she wanted me.  

Matt got her out and then they went to the T.V room to watch a movie and have milk.  After about an hour Matt tried putting her down again.  She went down ok but after 5 min she began screaming again so we brought her into bed with us.  She never actually sleeps in our bed but it calms her down.  After about a 1/2 hour we put her back in her crib.  Once again she began screaming I finally went in there at around 4:00am and told her I wasn't coming in until she stopped crying.  Much to my surprise, because she was crying really hard, she stopped crying.  I went in and she started pointing to the blanket on the floor.  Just before we put her to bed that night we changed her sheets and gave her a new blanket.  I was planning on washing the one that she has used every night since she turned one in the morning.  I asked her if she wanted that blanket and she said yes.  The second I wrapped her in the blanket she was fast asleep.  

I had no idea she was so attached to that blanket.  It was both relieving and frustrating that after 2 and 1/2 hours all she needed was her old blanket.  I have officially learned my lesson.

I told myself I would never do this, but I decided it was a great way to keep in touch so here we go.
