I've also read that the color yellow is an agitating color (especially for kids) and that blue is soothing.<br /><br />Perhaps a sound machine with soothing lullaby's will lull your daughter into a peaceful nights rest. Try a night light or one of those imagery machines of fish....<br /><br />Also water is a wonderful sound and they have many resonably priced rock & water plug in 'sculpters' at Walmart.<br /><br />If not, try bribery-ha! "If you stay in your big girl bed for X amount of days all night, Mommy & Daddy will buy you a new nightgown or stuffed animal (whatever works-ha!)." :D<br /><br />I sure hope some of this helps and I wish you, hubby and daughter many peaceful nights to come.<br /><br />Always good to stop by and see you. :)<br /><br />Peace and serenity,<br />~Jo<br />'The End Of The Rainbow: Life After Bankruptcy'Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169505163290328224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943105503307093774.post-72821676690553541422010-08-13T18:56:38.302-04:002010-08-13T18:56:38.302-04:00Rough start to the weekend I see.

It can only get better after that!
