Sleep Alone

Today, the whole afternoon, we been shifting our-so-called-study-room out to the living room so that we can move Ezel's bed from our room to there. We shifted our study tables (Ken's and mine) which occupied half the room. We leave the book racks on the other side of the wall as we concluded that the living room is not suitable to put all these stuffs. 

With that, Ezel got a new room of her own (not the whole room but third quarter of the room at least). We decided to train her to sleep alone as she is three and a half years old now. She been sleeping with us since she was a baby.

We moved her single bed and the television for her into the room. Then, her bucket of toys and playing stuffs that lies in the living room also moved into the room. Her two (2) small tricycles also been moved into the room which just nice to put all her stuffs. Her kiddy study table stay in the room. After all the arrangement, the third quarter space in the room officially becomes her cozy room and space. She is quite excited as usual as we told her earlier that she should sleep alone. We purposely buy a small dimmed light for her so that she would be less afraid sleeping alone (like what my parents do to me when I was small). 

When time to sleep, she seems a bit reluctant to sleep alone. Ken and I been pursuing her very hard to sleep by her own. First, we let her sleep alone while drinking her milk and watching her own cartoon in the room. Once she finished her milk, she started to make some attitudes by coming out to the living room and things like that. She is very sleepy at that moment but she keeps pushing herself awake due to the new environment. 

Then, I accompany her into the room and tell that her toys like teddy bear, rabbits, frog and etc are accompany her to sleep. I ask her to sleep with all the toys surrounding her. Then, I walk out to the living room but in less than five (5) minutes, she is out to the living room again. 

Since we know she is very sleepy, Ken suggested me to accompany her and pat her to sleep. So, I did and within 15 minutes, she is fast asleep. Then, I came out living the small dimmed light on.

Finally, Ezel to manage to sleep alone in her own room after a numerous in-and-out game.
