Sleeping Woes

So in recent blogs I have complained of Allison's troubles sleeping away from home.  Apparently this isn't a problem only we have.  Sometimes I think Babycenter.com reads my mind, but then again, it is more likely that we are just going through the normal issues parents of children this age go through.  It seems they always bring up things that are on my mind in their weekly "Your child at 20 months, 2weeks" (etc).  And this time was no different.  One of the headings this week was Your child not sleeping well away from home.   But to be honest, it wasn't that much help.  Most mom's that responded basically just said it is a phase kids go through around this time.  And most of their suggestions we already did.  We send her blankets (her favorite and the one that is in her crib), and her paci (that is for another post...when to take it away, and how) and we do her usual bedtime routine.  The only thing we didn't do was let her cry it out and go back to sleep because we didn't want her waking everyone else up.  My parent's are going to brave it this weekend and take Allison to the lake, hopefully all goes well!!  I know it will, if nothing else she and everyone else will just need more daytime naps!
