Dear Son,
So, about last night. There are two schools of thought in the "how to
put a baby to bed" world. We've been using the method of
Snuggle-to-sleep paired with Sleep-With-Mom-All-Night. Which has worked
wonderfully unless I still have to brush my teeth, wash my face, walk
the dogs, and/or drink a glass of wine. Which brings us to last night
and our visit to the other side (the darker side?) of bedtime. You slept
a little when I put you to bed. And then you cried. And cried. And
cried. And we let you. And you finally (finally!) fell asleep. It was
hell for us both. And you know what? Today you cashed right out for your
morning nap, no howling required.
So, I promise we won't make a practice of putting you to bed by yourself
if you will try to fall asleep on your own every once in a while. Trust
me, when you're my age, naps are awesome!
Love You MORE,
Mom
