Battle of the Bed update

This is what we envision... Kailee in her bed ALL night!
Last night we began as we did during yesterday's nap and then proceeded to cry-it-out.  After 10 minutes, Kailee made herself throw-up so we decided to hold off on bedtime until Gavin went to bed.  Gavin was actually asleep (at about 9:30) when I tried cry-it-out again.  I put Kailee in bed, turned off the lights, shut the door, she screamed for 30 seconds and then... PEACE!

Of course the peace lasted until about midnight when she woke up screaming bloody murder and ended up in our bed...

Nap time today went smoothly.  I put her in her bed, shut the door, she screamed for 30 seconds, and then slept for almost 2 hours.  We are back on track!

After a few more days/nights of success at falling asleep, we will move on to tackling the middle of the night wakings.  I have fought Brady on these since day one--while I refused to go soothe her (knowing she'd go back to sleep in less than 5 minutes), he'd go in faithfully multiple times a night.  

We'll be all set just in time to head on vacation where normalcy is impossible.  Oh well!  We'll cross that road when we get there!

XOXO,
