June 19th

Dear my big baby boy,

WOW what a big boy you have become, as talked about in the last to post about putting you to bed and letting you put yourself to sleep I was little scared to do, I'm new at all this, one day someone says don't do it, it is bad for them, and one day someone says do it, it teaches them to sooth their self, it is good for them. So really I wasn't sure what to do or what I wanted to do, but on June 19th well really June 20th bc it was after midnight (of course) I was trying to put you to sleep it was a Sunday night and Daddy had picked up a shift at BC so it was just me and you. I rocked you and rocked you and when you would go to sleep I would hold you for a while justvas we always did, but this time every time I would stand up your eyes would open. So i thought since I had sheets in the dryer that I had to put on the bed I would take you to your club tell you good night and I would putty sheets on the bed and see how you did, and of course you cried, I got the sheets out put them on the bed, peed, turned on the.monitor and your had stopped crying you were asleep and you slept all night. It was bitter sweet but i was so proud of you. So now every night since then we have been rocking you for 10 mins then putting you to bed and you go to sleep. You even did the same for Susie and Mamaw. Tonight you were so sleepy you cried about 15 mins which you have only been crying about 2 but you were wore out. Mommy and daddy are so.proud of the big boy you are!

Love always
mommy
