Sleep Training Night 4

Last night was the best yet. Wren went to sleep with NO CRYING or fussing or moaning. I brought his scheduled nursings forward half an hour and managed to catch him asleep for two of them (10pm and 12.50pm) but he snuck in a 3.45am waking for the 4am one and cried for 10 minutes. the major problem last night was the time he is waking. He is up for the day at 5.45am which is too early.

I left him in his crib (in the room) and he kicked and rotated and played with his little bear blanket until 6.15 when he started to fuss a bit. I got him up and we played in bed till 6.30am. Then Frost heard us get up and got up all puffy eyed and sulky and unco-ordinated, complaining about being BORED and wanting TV. That's when I made up a new rule of No TV or breakfast till 7am.

Anyway, this is a better problem to have. I feel we are making progress.

Tonight may be a bit worse as we are going to try and eliminate the 1am nursing but Wren has not agreed to the plan.

Its at 11.30. I have a babysitter today and because of Wren's new "sleep behaviour" SHE can put him down to nap. Until last week I was the only one who could get him to sleep except Josh sometimes (with loads of crying).

good! I am so happy to hear you got a littel more sleep last night! WE might be going to the zoo with some friends of jackies and trevor (heart group)on Thursday morning if your interested Izzy has speech therapy so if it is at 12 we won't go bit if therapy is at 1pm we could go for a couple hours

that is huge progress for a week!! And progress with no sleep is even bigger news! your amazing! I hope that you have a good and relaxing hair cut and hope that you feel a refreshed after a little pampering:) I do wish you could have had more time to get your hair colored and such. Would you want to take the little ones for a walk tomorrow? Izzy has therapy at 12-1pm but we have no plans after or before that.
