Temper Temper

Sheesh... we just spent close to 3 hours trying to get her to sleep tonight. We are totally lost on what to do. She is the most agreeable kid until you put her in her crib. It's like we are dropping her into a fire ant nest! Cry and cry. I wish I knew what went on the in orphanage to understand why it's so horrible. We do our best to "pet" her and comfort without picking her up too much. We were rocking her to sleep, but that stopped working a day ago. She'd sense the rocking "stance" or hold and scream. So we finally gave up and gave her a bottle and woosh.. she's out. Maybe we have to do that for a while. I have no idea. I mean her pediatrician is like.. get her off the bottle and it's bad for her eating habits.. and then one adoptive site said .. anything goes at this point. and ya know.. i'm there pretty much. So it might be a bottle before bed.. just to get her into that mind set.

So wish us luck. And if anyone has any better ideas we are up for it.
