Well I'm late on weighing in but I'm glad you're moving her into her own room. She doesn't have to sleep with you to feel loved. You show her love all through the day. The woman who taught my lamaze class years ago told us that the worst thing we could do is let our baby start sleeping with us because then they tend to stay there and it causes problems in the marriage. Even though you are parents and that is a major part of your life, it isn't the only part of your life. You have to nurture your marriage because hopefully that relationship will last long after Dayel has moved out and has her own life.

Matt used to have a tape player and he had some childrens books on tape..all kinds of books; fiction and even Bible stories... and I'd put those on for him to listen to at night. It helped a lot. Usually he went to sleep before the tape stopped. And I'd put him to bed before we went so we could talk, watch tv, etc while we were waiting to make sure he went to sleep so we wouldn't have a visitor to our room at the wrong moment. Once he even had a small fish aquarium in his room with a timer on the light so he could watch the fish while he fell asleep. Whatever works for her.

Good luck. I think you're doing the right thing. Obviously Lorne isn't happy with sharing the bed with a child and you two need that time to yourselves. Four year olds take up a lot of time so at least that is a time when the two of you can have alone time.

Hugs,
Sandy
