Ethan's kryptonite is his crib. We had a couple getaways around Sept/Oct, around the time he was teething pretty bad also, and we are just now recovering from it. We don't like the cry-it-out method. We have tried that method before and he would cry for more than an hour, hardly letting up. Now, though, we put him in the crib at night and of course he still looks at me like "why would you do this to me?!?" as if I'm the worst mom, and he cries but it hasn't been lasting very long before he's asleep. The first night took 30 minutes. The second night took about that long, maybe a little less. Last night took 10 minutes!
A couple things have changed since the first cry-it-out session. One is I put a small strand of white (Christmas) lights behind his door. It gives enough light for him to look around without being scared but it's not too bright that he can't sleep.
Anyway, exciting things! 2016 is going to be great! To look back on the last year, my mind is just blown. So many changes. I'm not even sure I remember who I was pre-baby. lol. Just kidding, I'm mostly the same. Just realize now that the things I thought were "important" then are actually not. I used to think I didn't have time for things (probably realistically just being lazy) and now I know I really don't have time for things. I laugh at this because I know in the next few years I will look back and realize all the time I have now (that I don't think I have) will be a lot compared to in a few years when again I will think I don't have the time for something. does that even make sense?
I gotta go. Until next time!...
