Recently Nate and I have been reading this book called, In Case You Ever Wonder, by Max Lucado. It's a great book, especially if your child is adopted. Anyway, there is a section in the book that talks about the girl being afraid of the dark and the stuff in her closet. So now Elyse isn't a big fan of the dark and tends to cry when we put her into bed. The crying isn't long, but still it's hard to hear. Well today during her nap, she said, "Mama, no dark please". Therefore, I in turn clicked on her adorable purse night light my mom bought her and instantly she stopped crying and quickly feel asleep. I was glad to hear the crying stopped but guess I'm now packing a mini night light every where we go.Any suggestions from moms who have dealt with night light situations, like stories, long term use, ways to get over it, did you find it to be a good thing, etc.??
Yes that is Elyse in her bed. The picture was taken about 10 minutes after she feel asleep. Have to LOVE the sight of a sleeping child!

A night light is the perfect solution! We have them all over the house but ours aren't as cute as Elyse's purse light
Using a night light is good, but you guys liked keeping the doors open.I think you found your answer!
Good Job Natalie!!
I still use a night light most nights. I don't like complete dark either! I think if it works do it....night lights are no big deal in my book.
Liam uses a night light, too... You probably remember his "glow guy" because we just take it along when we travel :0) Anything that helps a kid sleep is good in my book!!
