Sleep Training Weekend – Day 9

Yesterday was heavenly. After that 2.5 hour nap during the day, she still cried off and on while I ran the bedtime routine. Once I started singing the last song of the night, she cried even harder and after 5 minutes of crying after I put her in the crib, she went to sleep… until 7:30 this morning. It felt glorious.

And then there was today. She fell asleep on the way home from church. So when we got home, I took off her jacket and shoes, made it all the way to the crib, when she realized what I was doing and she started crying again. I waited the regular time and decided to go back upstairs to rock her to sleep with no luck. Tried laying her down twice and twice she woke up. Today was more crying than napping.

Hoping tonight will be easier. Hoping she won’t be overtired from not sleeping today. Hoping the routine kicks in for her. Hoping it goes easier.
