Ferber Update

So we all know how Monday started out. The rest of that night was not much fun either. Liam woke up once every hour until I finally just fed him at 3 to make him quiet. Tuesday took a little longer than Monday to get him down, which the book said was possible. It was his way of letting us know that he meant business and was not pleased with the situation. Wednesday was better- it took half the time, only 30 minutes, and he was out. Thursday was the best day. It only took 15 minutes and he slept from 9 up until 8 without waking up. I screwed everything up on Friday by trying to move up his bedtime by half an hour- greedy, stupid move that cost us another 40 minute night. Saturday was not great either because he was off his schedule all day and it took him 30 minutes to fall asleep. Not to mention he woke up at 3 and stayed up moaning and whining. I finally gave in and fed him at 4 and the little angel (and by angel I mean brat) was smiling and looking up at me as if it was 2 in the afternoon. He finally fell asleep around 5....grrrrr.... And now it is Sunday and I am so happy to report that he took about 10 minutes to fall asleep- we are back on track. The routine thing seems to be working because he starts crying as soon as we start playing "Beautiful Boy" and turn the lights off. I am not a fan of this new trend because having him start to cry before we leave the room makes everything that much harder, but that's probably all part of his elaborate plan.
