ALL BY HIMSELF....

CHRISTIEN IS NOW SLEEPING ALL BY HIMSELF IN HIS OWN BED (CRIB) AS OF 4-14-08.

WE USUALLY ROCK HIM TO SLEEP THEN HE SLEEPS WITH US, BUT LATELY HE HAS BEEN FIGHTING HIS SLEEP AND HE IS REALLY STRONG SO WE HAVE TO FIGHT TO PUT HIM DOWN AND HE IS JUST TO BIG FOR THAT.

SO I PUT HIM IN HIS CRIB FOR A NAP THE OTHER DAY AND HE CRIED FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES THEN HE STOPPED AND TO MY SUPRISE, HE WAS OUT!!!

I AM NOT A FAN OF THE CRY IT OUT METHOD BUT I HAD TO JUST LET HIM DO IT AND IT WASNT THAT LONG AND HE WAS OUT. THEN AGAIN THAT NIGHT I PUT HIM DOWN FOR THE NIGHT AND AGAIN HE CRIED BUT SHORTLY THEN THIS IS WHAT I FOUND...

IT WAS AN EXCITING NIGHT FOR ME I NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD COME, HE PUT HIM SELF TO SLEEP, NOT US OR THE ROCKING BUT ALL BY HIMSELF.
THEN ALL DAY YESTERDAY HE WENT TO HIS CRIB AND FELL ASLEEP FOR NAPS AND THEN LAST NIGHT WAS THE FIRST TIME HE SLEEPT IN HIS ROOM PUTTING HIMSELF TO SLEEP WITH ONLY 1 TIME WAKING FOR HIS BOBBA THEN RIGHT BACK HE WENT...

I AM SO HAPPY AND EXCITED BUT AT THE SAME TIME I AM SAD CAUSE I MISS HIM AT NIGHT WITH ME, BUT I KNOW THIS HAS TO BE DONE AND THAT HE IS GROWING UP AND NEEDS HIS OWN SPACE...

MOMMY IS SO PROUD!!!!
