Sleep Training

I decided it is time for Tank to stop getting up in the middle of the night so Monday night we starting letting him cry it out. We moved a pack n play to the basement and put him down there so we couldn't hear him screaming so loudly. I was so stressed about having him down there and just leaving him there to cry when I could easily go comfort him. It seemed so much easier when we did this with Dude. But non the less we need to do. So Monday night he cried for about an hour and a half. Not too bad. Tuesday night he cried for maybe 30 minutes and last night he didn't cry at all. My little Tank went to bed at 7:30 and didn't wake up until 6:45. Why didn't I do this sooner?! It's so funny how worried I was about it, wondering if he'll still want me to hold him the next morning. Will he still feel safe and loved? You would never know I did this just 2 short years ago with Dude. I thought how much easier little things like this would be the second time around. As it turns out, they are just as hard, maybe even harder!
