I am very proud of my little guy. Last night it went like this. I put him to bed at 7:15 pm and said, “Ok little guy, momma and daddy love oyu and it is time to go to sleep so you can wake up feeling good”. He cried for about 15 minutes with me in the room and then he went to sleep. He woke up at 9 pm and put himself back to sleep. THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED. Then he woke at 11 pm and this was where it got to be tough. Let me first say that I love co-sleeping with Max but for me-it worries me that he cannot go down in his bed for the second part of that night. I also think abot the next baby and two babies not sleeping makes me a worried momma. I want Max to be able to do something I could never-Self Soothe. I am sure kids who co-sleep for as long as they wish all turn out to be amazing kids too but as I have said before-IT NEED TO BE WHAT WORKS FOR YOUR FAMILY.
So then Max cried on and off, with both Scott and myself, in the room for the next 2 hours. He would be half asleep for 30 minutes and then start to cry-so it was not a constant 2 hour thing-it was very on and off and a lot fo the cry was a type of moaning. TRUST ME-IF IT WAS HORRIBLE-I WOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT-SCREW THE BOOKS-I AM TRUSTING MY GUTT ON WHAT FEELS RIGHT FOR ALL OF US. I READ OF THAT MUMBO JUMBO AND NONE OF IT MADE SENSE FOR ME-I TOOK A LITTLE IN THIS BOOK AND A LITTLE IN THAT BOOK AND CAME UP WITH MY WAY OF DOING IT. So then he slept from 1 until 4:45 am which was amazing. Then I took the little man and went a lied down in another room till it was time to get up. Another thing he did from the 1 am until 6:30 am (when we got up for the day) was he slept without his BINKY. OMG.
Then this evening-it went like this. Put him down-he fussed for 3 minutes with his eyes wide open and closed his eyes and went to sleep. OMG.
I will keep you posted about the late shift.
