Things to think about at 1:30 a.m. whilst letting The Prince cry it out
1. What is "it," anyway?
2. I am teaching my son a valuable life skill. I won't be able to help him go back to sleep at 1:30 and 4:30 every night in college.
3. What is the correct usage of "whilst?" (dunno; I'll use it anyway)
4. Mom and Dad don't really get any more sleep whilst the Crying it Out is taking place.
5. Am I sure The Prince isn't sick or teething? (pretty sure)
6. He really does seem to be winding down, then is quiet for a bit, then starts it up again every 3-5 minutes or so. What gives? (not sure)
7. How many minutes has it been? I think I dozed off in one of the lulls. (guess we do get a little bit more sleep)
8. If I buy him a pony, will he sleep? (worth a try)
9. How long has it been since I've gotten a complete night's sleep? (over a year, during the early part of my pregnancy. That's depressing)
10. Why didn't I just try to do the whole night when we were doing this a couple months ago? (I couldn't handle it. I'm thinking I should have tried harder to handle it)
11. WILL I EVER GET MORE SLEEP? (sigh. Dunno)
12. It seems easier just to nurse him to relax him (he never seems super hungry at the nighttime feedings anymore). If I don't stop that now, won't we have to go through it when we wean anyway?
13. Still jealous of my friends who get to sleep; still glad for more time with The Prince.
14. Is hubby snoring? Well, guess he gets more sleep.
15. Probably wouldn't be able to sleep anyway - now the pug is snoring, too.
Now that that's off my chest, I feel a little better. Tired, but better.
16. Looks like the extra commentary sentence at the end is the way I like to blog.
