The Forty-First Night

Awwww...... those cheeks!

So. We had a pretty good night!

Collin got very cranky by 7:00pm and I stretched out the bedtime routine as long as possible, putting him down at 7:30pm. He cried, pretty hard, for about 10 minutes and then he was out.

At 3:45am, I heard him. Now, 4:30am was early enough, but 3:45am was just unacceptable! He outgrew the need to eat at that hour months ago and there was just no way I was going back! I don't care what kind of growth spurt he was having, I just wasn't going to do it. Nope. No way.

So, I fixed his blanket, gave him his pacifiers and a kiss and back to bed I went. He cried (lightly) for about a half an hour. But it was not a hungry or upset cry at all. (If it had turned into that, no matter what I say, i'd have fed him, wimp I am!) But he fell back to sleep and didn't get up until 6:30am!

So we did 7:30pm to 6:30am! That is so very close to my goal of 8:00pm to 7:00am! Yippppie!!!
