Crying it out
Patton is waking up all hours of the night now and it is time for him to learn to get back to sleep by himself. He's been crying for about 20 minutes now, he's starting to do that hiccup thing and it's really sad. It is taking every ounce of self control for me to not go in there and pick him up. The hardest part is when I have to go in there to reassure him that he has not been abandoned for life and lay him back down. No talking, no eye contact. Time to lay him back down.......I just broke his heart, again. I walked in there and he was standing at the corner of the crib and was so happy to see me, that feeling quickly went away since I was in there less than thirty seconds. God I hate this!!!!!!!!!
I get to do this every time he wakes up tonight and for however many nights it takes. I'm going to be the walking dead this week. Oh yeah, nap time too.

I feel for you. When you walk in and you see happiness in their eyes, and then the sound they make when you walk out. It slowly kills you inside. I used to sit on the floor outside their room & cry with them. Hang in there!
I knew you would understand!! You're the best!! How did you handle it in the middle of the night?. Ask Mindy for my email address, I need the help of a pro!
