Cry It Out, Night Two

With the expectation that cry it out was going to be awful but absolutely something our son needed to do, we are thinking quite differently now that we have started the process. You hear horror stories of kids crying for hours to then end things with vomiting which you are supposed just clean and continue on with the wonderful sleep process which sounds delightfully humane to us. And then you reach the cry it out road yourself and your child goes to sleep immediately after about 15 minutes and no crying and you think to yourself what a wonderful world. We love Louis Armstrong. And Steelheart.

Cry it Out: Night 1

With Matthew turning 4 months last Sunday, we (Mike, our doctor, and I) agreed that now was the time to start cry it out.  Tonight was supposed to be the first night, however, there was one MAJOR problem...

He didn't cry.  He went right to sleep.
