For your daughter, she enjoys and perhaps needs your caring and emotional support so I would NOT recommend letting her "cry it out". Remember she is only 2. She may seem like she is big (my oldest sure did when he was 2) but she is still quite small and emotionally fragile. I suggest that you try sleeping in her bed with her when she wakes up, which can be a lot easier to do at 3 AM than almost anything else. Better still, try bringing her into your bed. Kids seem to see this as an act of unconditional love and it has been very therapeutic for at least one of our kids. For the baby I know where you are coming from. Our 1.5-year old is VERY attached to his mommy. He wakes up screaming if she isn't around and it has been almost impossible for me to get him back to sleep. I kept trying though and finally got a breakthrough! Recently his mother was out and I got him to fall asleep by letting him watch his favorite... screen-saver! Dear J.T.,
