20 Minutes

Yes, that's right!  We made progress!

Last night started as usual.  Dinner, bath, bedtime bottle, fall asleep on Daddy immediately after finishing bottle.  Wait 10 minutes, take Christopher to bed and Bam!

Wide awake.

We let him cry for 10 minutes before going in.  Daddy went up this time and stayed for a minute without picking him up and then left. 

About 10 minutes later, he was fast asleep.  20 minutes of crying was still tough to listen to but it wasn't nearly as dramatic as the night before.  Both kids were asleep by 8:15 pm and were still sleeping at 5:00 am when we had to wake them up.

I'm not jumping up and down quite yet because it is still early. And, I know it's not a perfect process.


Wish us luck tonight.  I'm hoping tomorrow's post will be titled "5 Minutes or Less".
