Hi everyone,

Today's project was made out of an urgent need. My 3 years old son really has trouble getting asleep, He is not scared, he doesn't scream or comes downstairs, he just stays in his bed and plays with whatever or he sings quietly, whispers to his bunny... the fact is that he just don't fall asleep before he was for 2h in his bed so about at 9h30 or 10h even if he s in bed since 7h30.We have a very constant bedtime routine and we tried lots of different things, staying in the doorway watching, taking all his toys away from his room, putting him into bed only at 9h30-10hish, putting music,  letting him read  and since nothing worked, now we're trying this, a little calendar where he is going to draw by himself a happy face if he fell asleep fast or a sad face if he had more trouble to get asleep with a wonderful prize at the end...


The patterned paper is from 3 bugs in a rug "snips and snails" collection and I used whisper white, not quite navy and baja breeze to complete my project.

I drew the first two night for him and then he's the one doing them...

I'm sure you want to know what's the BIG prize... Well, for those of you who doesn't know already, I'm pregnant with my 3rd child and since William has shown a very big interest since we told him that there was a baby in Mommy's belly, we tought he would really appreciate to come to listen to the heartbeat and see the echography, and for now he his really motivated to show us own Big of a boy he is by learning to fall asleep faster... We'll see if it works...



Have a nice stampin' weekend !!!

J'espère que ça va marcher!! Allez William, tu es capable! Arielle aussi a un calendrier....elle compte les jours pour pu que sa varicelle la pique. Son calendrier est pas mal moins beau que celui de William. :) Pas mal moins!!!
