I sent my application in June 29 and it was delivered July 7th as per Canada post. Is it normal we haven’t heard anything back from them?

I have a 3 year old who is very strong willed. I can admit she is more difficult to handle than an average 3 year old. Since the day she was born, sleep has always been a really stressful topic, she has never willingly gone to sleep. As a baby I would have to try numerous sleep crutches to get her to go down for a nap. She went through every sleep regression. I tried sleep training a few times when she was a baby and it worked but each time there were huge regressions and as she got older it got harder and harder. When she turned 2 if I even attempted to sleep train she would have long meltdowns if we tried having her sleep alone or put herself to sleep. At some point i chose to prioritize her mental health over my idea of what ideal sleep looked like because she was becoming severely distressed.

Currently our issues are as follows:
- She still needs a pacifier to fall asleep
- She needs to hold your hand, rub it and scratch repetitively
- I have to force her to sleep, if there is any mention of bedtime she automatically starts refusing, fighting kicking and screaming. I have to hold her down and put a pacifier in her mouth and hold her hand in order to get her to sleep
- She needs to sleep beside me so that when she wakes up I can replace her pacifier and hold her hand while she scratches and rubs my hand repetitively all night which keeps me awake
- If I let go of her hand she wakes up and screams which sometimes wakes up her baby sister so I try to keep her quiet to avoid that
- She has low iron and I’m working on bringing her levels up

Her schedule goes as follows
9pm-9am sleep
We had to cut our any type of nap because when we did she would stay awake until 2am

I know you may be wondering why don’t I just cut off these behaviors? See the issue is she is extremely strong willed and resistant. She screams and has strong meltdowns. The pacifier is the only way I can get her to calm down and fall asleep. If i cut it out, then I would just be wrestling a screaming child with nothing to help soothe her and no end in sight.

The hand holding and rubbing is becoming overstimulating and uncomfortable to have her fingers digging into my knuckles and her thumb rubbing up and down my hand all night. At this point it doesn’t even help her because she keeps waking up regardless.

I am in serious need of professional help. I am not cut out to sleep train her myself. If somebody knows of a sleep trainer or system they used that works and can help our family i would greatly appreciate it. My goal is to have her in her own bed, no pacifier and no hand holding, and have her sleep until morning without coming into my room.

If you were the person who won the auction of unit 0627 on march 25th at the Hilliard Public storage please reach out to me. We will pay money for the books.

We were told by Public storage that we had until March 31st to pay and move out, but they auctioned the unit without us knowing.

Since then we have tried to locate any whereabouts regarding my husband’s library of Arabic books but no trace of it.

The books were stored in dozens of home depot boxes and they are all leather-bound books.

Please message me if you know anything!

Thank you
