Sleep Training - Cry It Out Isn't for the Faint of Heart

Tab, you are blowing our minds here!

You are now six months old and you:
-Sit up
-Play nicely by yourself
-Crawl both normal and army style
-Are starting to stand

A few nights ago I was making a dinner of eggwhites, turned to the monitor and you were TRYING TO STAND UP WHILE STARING AT THE MONITOR! We immediately ran downstairs and began dropping the bed height in the crib because clearly you are a lady on the move.

We started sleep training last Monday. Since your Dad is the one home with you it has been harder on him. You don't know it, but we are just trying to help you learn to soothe yourself and get/stay asleep longer. Friday afternoon for your third of your three daily naps, after your Dad left you in your crib you dropped your head and cried. You wouldn't even look at him. It broke his heart. Don't worry, he has forgiven you (he was never mad) but man, that guy is really taking an emotional beating. You are indeed strong willed, little lady.

Other than that your Dad and I do our day to day at work or home and just spend our time in awe of you and all that are you doing.

This weekend we are checking out homes in Western Springs. Trying to find a good school for you. ;-)
