doing what's best....even when it is hard

Well Jake and I have decided to try and get Roxy to sleep in her crib. We seem to have a good bed time routine down other than when she does fall asleep in her crib and wakes up, she expects mom and dad to come to her rescue every few hours. Last night was the toughest yet most rewarding night so far.... I have been reading a very helpful book...called the sleepeasy solution by Jennifer Waldburger. It is a very good happy medium to the Cry-it-out solution and comfort your child because you feel like your heart is being ripped out of your chest if you don't solution. It seems to have worked rather well for her 1st night although it was tough to not just intervene at any given hour and just start again tomorrow night. To make the incredibly long night short....This morning I woke up frantically to see if Roxy was awake at 7:30am and low and behold she was sound asleep! She woke up around 8. Oh i was so happy to barge into her room and give her the biggest hug and kisses and let her know how proud I was of her! If we keep this routine up...the book says it should only take about 5 days till she can soothe herself back to sleep and have a more restful nights sleep ( mom and dad included :)) Well I have got to get ready for work but I have a sneak peak of some super cute pics I took this morning....
