A light bulb moment. That instant when you realize just the right way to do something; perhaps an answer to a question that has been nagging you. It suddenly just pops in your head and you think, "why didn't I think of that before?"
We had a light bulb moment in our house this week. Literally having to do with light bulbs. After struggling with getting Kinley to go to sleep in her bed, by herself, without crying or fussing, the light came on. Literally.
We suddenly discovered that if we keep
her bedroom light on she will go to sleep. All this time I've been offering to turn on the hall light or the bathroom light or any host of night lights. But it's the bedroom light that she wants on. So far we are 7/7 in the going to bed without incident department. Quite honestly, if this is how she desires to drift off to dreamland then great! Time for lights out. Sweet dreams.
