Ferber recants!
I'm a weak person. The kind who just couldn't, unless I was totally exasperated and had tried everything else, let my baby "cry it out"... I tried various levels of it, but never lasted more than 5 or 10 minutes. I called that crying it out, but hard core Ferber method said to go as long as 45 minutes. I couldn't do it. Just couldn't.
So I'm happy. Because I just read an article online http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Health/story?id=1317690 where Ferber has changed his mind. Which has to mean that I'm not weak, I'm justified. Don't you love it when you can justify otherwise weak actions? Makes for a great day. Politicians certainly know.
Jeff and I woke up at about 4am. We were cuddled up to each other (rare -- we usually sleep pretty separately.) Why? Because Mike was in bed with us and had wedged his body so that he owned half of our bed.
So crying it out isn't my problem now. Anybody have a solution for toddlers who can open doors??

LOL. OK. Correction, I usually don't wake up when I'm cuddling with someone!!! I suppose it's highly likely, as Sarah attests, that I do WAKE up my bed-buddy.
Maybe I need the hot toddy. Forget Mike.
My mom used to tell us, well this was usually on the days that she and my father would "wrestle", that if we opened the door to our rooms we would get kidnapped and never ever returned. Needless to say it scared me shitless, so even when she knocked on the door when they were done, I was hiding under the bed... y'know just in case.
That's awesome! I want to meet Greg's mom.
