Sleep update

Well, Charli is NOT sleeping in her crib yet. I tried the re-education for a couple of nights but just couldn't do it last night. I am trying so hard to not get taken down by the crud once again so I am physically exhausted. I couldn't handle the struggle last night. I know I'm weak. But for those of you who have never done this, it is NOT easy to listen to your child cry, yell for you and get all worked up.

The one good thing was that last night, although in my bed, she put herself to sleep. I didn't have to sing to her, rub her back, or do my dad's finger nail trick (sorry, this would need a demonstration to better understand, but he learned this when I was a baby and all babies are truly mesmerized by it). So, I find this a step in the right direction now only if I can get her to do this in her bed we'll be set. But hey, as they say, "pick your battles" and last night this was not the one.
