Will is the absolute best baby in every single way... Except one. This little cutie will fall asleep in his crib easily at bed time and even naptime. No rocking, bouncing, shushing. He just gets it done. But the in the middle of the night, and frequently, he wakes up and won't go back to sleep without a visit from mommy. I'm exhausted. Cranky. Dumb. And living in a very thick fog. We have to fix this for everybody's sake.
So tonight when sweet Will woke up 2.25 hours after bedtime I refused. I told Matt Will needed to learn to go back to sleep. We went through this with both kids and I know you have to be desperate to listen to your baby cry, but its necessary.
I was thrilled when he got himself back to sleep after 25 minutes!! 15 were cranky complaining and 10 were full on screaming. But he did it. And I can see the light!!
