Last night was hard. Peyton usually sleeps with us everynight, but since we only have a queen bed its hard because he kicks all night long. Jake sleeps in his own bed all night long and we sometimes feel that it is not fair to him. Along with all of that, Peyton is VERY attached to mommmy that  it makes it hard for me to leave the room to do anything, if I want to stay up and watch a movie, play on the computer or even use the restroom. He will scream. We want him to learn to sleep in his own bed at night all night. So last night, I did what everyone is telling me to do. When he woke up like usual, I let him cry himself back to sleep. It lasted about 45 mins. But it worked. A few more nights of this and hopefully the crying will stop. We tried this a few months back, and it seemed like it started to work, but then we moved.


It is hard to hear you child cry and not go in to see what he/she wants, to hold them and comfort them. But when they are almost two and they know that crying will get them whatever they want, the comforting had to end......... to a certain extent. If it doesn't stop in less then a week, then we will try a TV in the room. They both like to fall asleep with their lava lamp and a disney movie on.
