Towards the end of 2013, Emma started to want someone to stay with her in her room to fall asleep. It's was no fun. Especially because she use to just let us put her in her crib, roll over, and go to bed. But, since we were going to go on a lengthy vacation that involved some serious jet lag, we decided to let it go and deal with it once we returned.
It's now been over a month since we have been back from our Asia vacation and someone has stayed in her room every night until she falls asleep and she has been coming into our room in the middle of the night and we have welcomed her into our bed because it is the easy thing to do.
No more. We are done. We haven't gotten a full nights sleep in too long so tonight sleep training commenced.
For about an hour I stayed outside her door and every time she came out I would escort her back to her crib. Not sure how many times we did this - maybe 15? She is a persistent little gal.
Hoping that as the nights go by this exercise will be shorter and shorter. And as she figures out how to go to sleep on her own at night she will figure out how to put herself back to sleep in her crib in the middle of the night.
Keeping fingers crossed. What else can we do? Oh - wish for sleep.
