Sleep Training: Night three

7:00 pm
went outside and walked till 7:50

8:00 pm
bath, book, bounce, and prayer (i need a "B" word for this one)

8:25 pm
lay him down. this time was different. He cried as soon as i layed him down (same) BUT usually he hugs me over the rail and falls asleep in my arms. This time he let go of me and layed on his pillow/mattress.

I left him crying and seriously- 30 sec ( i didn't even get the timer set) he was sitting falling asleep.

he did that for 3:00 min and then laid down and he was out. WOW!

10:30 pm
Ty got home from class and Rome's still sleeping.

6:10 am
I woke up to Rome kinda crying but put himself back to sleep

7:45 am
I went and got Rome- he was playing in his crib.

well i've been amazed. He caught on SO much faster then I thought- thank you all for your encouragement it's been so uplifting! I had thought i'd do this "journal" for the first two weeks because I had anticipated it being a struggle- BUT i never dreamed it would go the way its going! yeah!
