19 Nov -- And the sleep deprivation continues...

I just let Jane "Cry It Out" through her 4AM feeding last week. What a fabulous feeling to have 2 kids going to bed at 7PM and waking up at 7AM. I had it all...for a week.

Last night around 11:45PM, I was awakened by Charlie calling my name from the hallway. He then proceeded to get up for the next hour or so, come to our room every few minutes and we would lead him back to his bed where he'd cry off and on for a bit until he got up and came back to our room again. I don't know if he was sleep-walking initially or if he is just realizing the power and freedom of sleeping in a big boy bed. For the last two months he would be awake and wait patiently in his bed for us to come open up the door in the morning and after naps. Sadly that is no longer the routine and I miss it already!!

I just know that one night I'm going to roll over, open my eyes and his little face will be looking me square in the eyes and I will have a little heart attack.

Oh, I miss the crib...
