I promise to be strong....

...it all started with a need for sleep. I knew it was a good time to start a sleep "training" program with Grayson since he was over 4 months and weighed more than 15 pounds. Of course I didn't ONLY take these factors into consideration, I knew he was ready. The poor guy wakes every 2 hours (or less!) and only falls asleep when we feed him. I don't know who has the problem. Him or me? Regardless, we started the "sleep easy solution" this evening. The "sensitive" approach to teaching your child how to be a good sleeper. Sensitive. Sensitive?

It's been longer than I can even tell you, and my little guy just wont fall asleep. If I grab him from his "crib prison" now, all the crying he has done this evening will be for nothing... I know I have to wait a bit longer, but oh the anguish. Why cant he just be a good sleeper? Why is parenting so much harder than people let on? I just wish I could take his place for a bit so he could get some sleep...

But I know we're doing the right thing. I know it will pay off for the whole family in the long run. I will wait a bit longer. I promise to be strong...
