Sleep revisited

On Saturday night we decided we were physically, mentally and emotionally ready to let Miss M cry it out.

We went to bed with a game plan. Sort of. She woke up at 1:21 am. We let her cry for a bit. We checked on her after 30 minutes and then she was quiet. We laid there waiting. She woke up again. She didn't ever cry hysterically rather she just fussed. And fussed she did for quite awhile. I made a decision to check on her at 3:10. This decision was made at 3:07. I like multiples of five. The clock struck 3:09:30 and the noise was finished.

Sunday night. Same game plan. She didn't wake until 3:45. I think she cried for 20 minutes. She fell back to sleep without being checked on.

Monday. Repeat of Sunday.

Tuesday. Repeat of Monday.

Not too bad.

We will see how it continues to go.

Hopefully she stops screaming at 3:45 am but I think we have made progress.

I remember when I wasn't sure she was ever going to sleep.

Those days stressed me out.
