White Noise

I have figured out that a little white noise helps Laurel get back to sleep. Laurel's typically a good sleeper, but occasionally she will wake up from a nap about 40 minutes into it (she usually sleeps between an hour and 15 minutes and an hour and a half). A lot of times she gets herself back to sleep, but there are those times where she doesn't. When she woke up about 40 minutes into her nap this week I was debating what to do and decided that she was "talking"and not crying, I would go ahead and do the vacuuming I had been planning to do that day and then go get her. Usually I just vacuum when she's asleep because she'll sleep right through it. Well when I had finished, she was fast asleep. Today, Laurel woke up a little too early from her nap (after already having a short morning nap) and I decided to give the vacuum thing a try. I had to vacuum the living room a couple times, but she went back to sleep and slept for another 40 minutes. It's so nice to have finally realized that the lull of the vacuum will soothe our girl back to sleep.
