Last night my daughter told her mum, "it's OK, I'm a big girl, night night" enabling mum to leave the bedroom before she fell asleep.  After months of coaching by papa, this was a breakthrough moment.

When she woke up this morning, I gave her a big hug and told her how proud I was of her for being a brave girl as she recounted the story.

.. then spent 35 minutes trying to convince her to eat *some* breakfast to no avail!

Rollercoaster!
