So last night we were tired. And the Scoot Man has had plenty of time to sleep on his own, but won’t. So we decided that last night would be the beginning of “crying it out” again. This time no going in to him, no gradual ease of pain-just rip the band aid off and make him sleep.
Well first Cammon cheated. The Scoot Man started crying 10 min after we put him down at 7pm. Cammon turns the video for the monitor on. The Scoot Man’s eyes are closed-he is crying while he falls asleep. But we’ve seen this before, he cries and wakes himself up. So Cam cheats and goes in and gives him his pacifier. He quiets right down.
We hold our breath, 7:15pm and not a peep. 7:30pm and still nothing. Little Scoot Man decided to cheat as well and go right to sleep. He slept from 7:15pm until 10:30pm. AND then he decided he was still tired and slept until 5am this morning. So the little guy cheated too.
And how did I cheat? Well I had a bowl of ice cream last night, crashed on the couch and enjoyed every last bite…
no way! What a little stinker to finally just sleep when you were ready to make him pay for it!
That’s great though, I bet it made you HAPPY!
Hurray for cheating!! Here I am behind again! Loved the thought of him sleeping so long. Can you even dare consider a life with real sleep? Love your humor – you are an angel.
Glad I’m home. Love
