He's not crying..but I'm going to cry!!!

[lolaburns]

I don't really remember the last time I put L down for the night without any crying. It's been so, so long. I've tried a million different things over the last few months. From staying in his room until he settled and fell asleep, to my version of pick up put down, to rocking and shushing. I would let him roll, crawl, stand up and whine but if it escalated to a cry I would go in and soothe/settle him. Some nights, it would be up to 2 hours of me going back in to soothe him and on those nights I literally went to this special place in my brain to have the patience to be able to do it.

Tonight, we did his feeding and then I kissed him goodnight. Put him in the crib awake. Normally, by that point he would be fussing and or crying. I went downstairs and watched him on the monitor. He just stared into the dark without a peep. Flicked his little fingers back and forth across the sheet. Rolled to his side and shut his little eyes.

So I'm all teared up. A mixture of being scared my methods wouldn't work and I would have to try something I didn't want to, being relieved and being kinda tired. Ugh. I can't believe it!!!

Oh lola, sometimes when you post, I wonder if we're living the SAME life!!! It has been the exact same in our house, and right now, A just fell asleep on her own for the first time in I can't remember how long. And I'm so relieved and yet so emotional over it. She might be up in an hour, but for right now, she's asleep without a struggle.

So, that being said, GOOOOOOOOOO LUKE!! My joy for you is inexplicable, and I am hoping it's his new thing! Great job, momma!!! Patience and trying paid off, and I'm so happy for you!
