Thought I should give up an update on how this sweet boy is sleeping at night....
and sweet he has become when he gets all his sleep at night!
We finally set up the good•nite nightlight on Sunday and since then, he's really done even better. He still cries for us a bit when we walk out of his room, but now that Mark is involved in the entire process, Mont doesn't mess around too much like he tried with me. Dads are good for that, aren't they? Good reinforcements. The video/audio monitor was doing good enough, helping me, but to help Mont, that night light really has done the trick. The last two nights he hasn't even made a sound through the night. Not one sound from bedtime until about 6:00. The night light turns into a sun at 6:20, so he will wait until it's bright yellow when he comes and tells us what happened and he leads us back in to show us. It has been miraculous. This morning he woke up at 5:45 and brought me in a diaper to change him. We're working on that whole process too.. So many fun things to work on. ha ha
I've even gotten a cold, the night of the trunk or treat, but with two good nights of sleep in a row, I'm feeling much better than I normally do 2 days into it. Yesterday, even with the cold, I woke up at 6:15 with so much energy, I cleaned out all our bathrooms and organized like crazy, did laundry, changed sheets, etc.. sleep does so much good for all of us, I'm amazed at the difference already!

Yay!!! So glad it's getting better!!! And with the good nite lite, we gradually moved the time a little later every few weeks, so whereas Tucker started out waking up before 6 every day (over a year ago when we first got the light), now he sleeps (or at least stays in bed until the sun comes up) until 7:20. It's awesome. Hope everything continues to get better & stay better!! Hooray for sleep!!!
I'm happy for you guys!! Sleep is amazing...and an absolute must for me to be that nice mommy I always planned to be.
SO happy he is becoming a better sleeper! Hope your cold goes away quickly :)
Hooray! Sleep problems are the worst and I'm so glad you guys made it through!
Yay! You need to treat yourself for sticking with it. How bout I send Molly, and you can start working with her? :) Since you're a pro at sleep training now.
