Cry It Out nights 4 & 5
Well I think Kale is definitely getting the hang of putting himself to sleep. He hasn't been crying nearly as much as he started out doing. Last night he didn't really cry at all. He whined for a few minutes and then was asleep. I was really worried that last night he was going to have a hard time going to bed; because, he took a nap at about 6:30-7:00. However, he hadn't taken any good naps all day so I didn't want to wake him up; but, at seven if he wasn't up I planned on it. It was like he knew I wanted him to get up and he just woke right up. I am so proud of the progress he is making with putting himself to sleep. It seems he is such a better baby too since we have started putting him to bed at the same time every night and not letting him choose his bed time. He hardly ever whines anymore (knock on wood, I don't want to jinx myself) unless it is right before he is going to take a nap. He also isn't waking up as much in the middle of the night. He did wake up on night 4, but I have figured out what sometimes wakes him up....he has started to sleep on his stomach. I don't like it AT ALL; however, I was talking to my friend who is a nurse and she said her boys did it before Kale's age. She just let them she said that it doesn't hurt them especially once they know how to roll over which Kale definitely does. I still don't like it though. However the little stinker instead of rolling over will wake up...sometimes in the middle of the night stay on his belly...and push his chest off the mattress and just wait for me to come get him...I will bring him to our bed, pat his butt for a few minutes and he is OUT...he then goes back to his bed and sleeps for a while again. I really can't worry about the whole stomach thing anyways...last night Ryan went in there and moved him to his back and when I went in there at 5:30 because he woke up he was on his stomach and had done a complete 180. I remember my mom and dad telling me I was a HUGE wiggle worm when I was little and I think Kale takes after me. Anytime I wake up in the middle of the night I can hear him on the monitor moving around; and, it seems every time I go in there in the morning he has done a complete 180...his head is where his feet are supposed to be....such a stinker!!
