... Just ONE Night?

Ok, everyone, listen up, Ethan has fallen asleep on his own with only a tiny bit of crying. And in only his second night of "training"!!! All his naps today, too, were preceeded by only brief crying (1 or 2 minutes, certainly less than 5)... and some went down without a peep, so quiet in fact I had to check just to make sure he was ok. Sure enough, he was contentedly asleep in his crib. And to think just last night, his first night of sleep training, he cried for around 35 minutes. It was a very long and sad time listening to him cry, but all worth it now! I can't believe it, is he really transformed now and can put himself to sleep, or just a coincidence for tonight?? We'll see tomorrow!

But anyways, Kelly wants to thank everyone who confirmed to me the importance of sleep training your baby. Because (she feels) without all this (and only going on her recommendation) I would not have felt this to be a good approach for Ethan. ("too cruel") .. But I am quickly a believer!

With Ethan able to put himself to sleep, we can do more around the house and for work ... oh, and for once, Kelly has not fallen asleep, putting Ethan to sleep, that tonight we can actually watch a movie!!!

Remember, Ma, all those nights just the two of us watching GG till late? Well, Kelly is awake too now!! :-) Yay!

OK, must watch movie instead of blogging or else Kelly will truly be bored and put herself to sleep... bye bye
