Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 , Thanks for showing me that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Actually, I'm not overly anxious to go down to 12 hours a day (of course we'll celebrate when it comes time for that, but we're okay right where we are too). It's interesting how my family and my husband's family reacts if there ever around when we put the bar back on Zach before bedtime. They groan, and have these really sympathetic looks on their faces. It's nothing like that. Zachary doesn't mind one bit when the bar goes back on. It's just a normal part of our bedtime routine. They then proceed to ask in a really sad tone " Gosh, how long does he have to wear that thing? " ...again, I don't think much about that since it hasn't been an annoyance to us at all. (an adjustment at the beginning, yes) Anyhoo, sort of got off topic there a bit. Again, thanks for your input!!! Yippeee to 12 hours!!!!!
