Noob, I thought I posted this already, but I guess not. Just extending a double welcome – to blog and to Ottawa.
SCM, going the CIO route was incredibly difficult with both boys, but it was something I believed was very important – that they learn to go to sleep by themselves. I just wish parenting weren’t so HARD sometimes!

GO DANI!
I wish I had your strenght. I don’t. I still lay down my guy at almost 4yrs old to put him to sleep. Honestly i know one day I will have to stop and let him fall asleep on his own but I like the cuddletime . It’s a private moment for him and me. ANd I know there is not one(another child) coming behind. Sometimes I wonder what I would do with all that time but then I realize I will have all the time in the world when he is grown. I’m probably wrong to do this but I’m wrong with alot of things. To bad. i did the same thing with my daughter and I don’t lay down with her anymore at 14 yrs. LOL!
You are a rock…I’m a whiney!
Great read for a sunday.

hi, i recently came across ur blog and i have to admit … i’m hooked.
its tough to hear the baby crying and thats why even at 2o months we still are nowhere near getting our little one to sleep alone. maybe we should take some inspiration from you.
