The bedtime weening...

Okay, okay so I know we should have weened E from falling asleep with us in the room a long time ago but we didn't and so now we have decided it's time. We are finally putting him to bed, reading books, listening to one song with him and then kissing him and saying good night. Here's how it has gone so far:

Day 1 (Wednesday night)
  • Talking up the big change!
  • E to bed
  • Daddy kisses goodnight and leaves
  • about 1 minute of crying
  • off to sleep.

Day 2 (Thursday night)
  • Again with the talking it up.
  • E to be
  • routine
  • Daddy leaves
  • about 40 minutes of crying
  • Mom goes in to settle him
  • kisses good night and leaves
  • more crying
  • E comes out of room
  • gets a drink of water
  • Daddy puts him back in bed
  • listens to 1 song
  • E falls asleep during that song
We'll keep you posted!

Molly is physically incapable of falling asleep in her own bed. I am very interested in hearing how it all plays out w/E so that I can get some tips.
