Since our return from Cape May in August, we’ve stopped using the video monitor to watch over Austen in her room. Privacy … finally! Austen has adjusted and now just gets up, walks out of her room, usually talking loudly but not crying, and makes her way to Mommy and Daddy’s room. Previously — the first 3 1/2 years of her life — Austen had to call for Mommy and Daddy to come get her when she was done with sleeping.
The bathroom light in the hall is always on at night. Austen doesn’t like to get up and walk around in the dark.
