Cry It Out...Day 1.

Since my last post I've really pondered over our little sleep issue. After Trev and I talked we decided to start the Cry it Out method last night...so for anyone that would like to know how it went, I decided to post about it.

Ryker fell asleep around 10:30 while Trevor was holding him. So we didn't get to start off the bat with it. But then he woke up as usual around 11:30 screaming at the side of his crib.  We let him cry for about five minutes...then I went in and laid him back down in his crib, gave him his binkie, gave some encouraging words, and left. He was still crying when I walked out which was still really heartbreaking for me! I was going to go back in at about ten minutes but I felt that he was ok and to let him keep crying. A couple minutes later he stopped crying! That was it! He was out. I went in to check on him a little later and he was out! Fabulous! He woke up again at 2:30 just starting to fuss. So I went in gave him his binkie again and left. He fussed for a couple minutes and fell back asleep.  I woke up I think more than he did! I was nervous!  I think I am going to have to learn how to sleep again! haha. Anyway he woke up at 6:30 and I wasns't ready for that! Sooo...I let him cry a little bit and fell back asleep! haha.

All in all it was good. I am glad we started! I hope that tonight was the worst of it! Hopefully it'll just get better! Like I said...it really wasns't as bad as I anticipated!

Wow! That is great! It's funny you said you have to learn again because it took me a week or two to finally start sleeping through the night after Grant!
