Day Three

Ethan woke up last night around midnight and I about had a panic attack. What am I going to do without the pacifier in the middle of the night? I laid him back down and just decided to see what would happen. He cried for about 5 or 6 minutes and went back to sleep. Thank goodness! I should apologize to my neighbors. Their bedroom is directly behind Ethan’s room. I hope he didn’t wake you guys up last night!

Today has started off really well. I was planning to hold Ethan off until after lunch for his nap, but he was rubbing his eyes and acting really tired, so I decided to put him down for his morning nap. Something amazing happened. He just went to sleep. I couldn’t even tell the difference between this nap and one with his pacifier. Good Job Ethan!!

He got tired around 1:00 today and went down for another nap, really easily! I don’t want to speak too soon, but maybe, just maybe, we are “over the hump.”

Bedtime tonight is going great. He didn’t cry much at all going down. He just made a little noise and talked to himself as he went to sleep.

I can’t believe how wonderful today has been! I hope it wasn’t a fluke, but I think that I can say that our mission was a success after three days. Ethan was a champ and I didn’t cave in! I'm proud of Ethan, and me too! No more pacifiers for us!!
