Sleep Training!!

SO we've been trying to get Austin to put himself back to sleep when he wakes up at night so I'm not in there 5 times a night. Thursday night was our first night (since Madison doesn't have school this upcoming week for Spring Break this is a good time to let him cry all night!) he must have been tuckered out because I didn't hear from him til 6am Friday morning. I did go in and put him back to sleep since it was way to early to have the whole house up. Friday night he was up twice and we just let him cry longer then I normally would have, but did have to go in his room, BUT I didn't pick him up....I made him put himself back to bed with me in the room. Last night he woke up three different times. The first two we let him cry awhile and then put him back to bed. The third time I was way to tired to get out of bed, so I let him cry it out. He only cried for 10 mins and then was quiet and slept the rest of the night!!! So proud of him....Hopefully this means he gets the idea and can do it by himself...The true test will be if I can do it all by myself while Garrett is at work......Wish me luck :) Madison's Tball practices were canceled this week which made her very sad. She loves playing and will sneak in some tball time in the garage and backyard every chance she can! Weather looks good for this week, so she should be a happy girl. Last week we did alot of hanging out. Monday I did some scrappin at a friends house while the kids played. Tuesday was school and our Mommy coffee day, and Wednesday the mommies met at Mcdondals And Thursday I got to go grocery shopping by myself. Such a good week. Had a great weekend with Garrett and the kids. Hung out and relaxed, Did alittle craft shopping, and Had a fantastic Turkey dinner with the neighbors!! Looking forward for a relaxing Spring Break ahead of us.....if the weather cooperates with me.

ONE of THE hardest things to do is let them cry! You can do it! I hope you had/have a good spring break. We are looking forward to our visit!
