Okay, so we started out great. Then Easter and the change of her routine hit! We went to J's G-ma's for Easter dinner. Way to much going on and Jenna didn't eat dinner. SO, we headed home about 8 (she had her normal bedtime bottle on the way home) and she went to sleep in the car. We carried her in asleep and put her in bed. So I am fully expecting her to start the wake up and crying thing anytime but, 10:00 came and she was still asleep. SO you can hear me now: I am FABULOUS! I am SUPERMOM!
NIGHT #3:
11:30. I had just got into the REM mode when "AHHHHH" from upstairs. I tried to ignore her but it just keep getting louder so.....
11:35-go up and put in the passy (which is the next habit to break!). Goes back to sleep.
11:55 Up again-Daddy puts her back to sleep-just the passy and a pat (no bottle or picking up).
12:15-12:45 We get up 10-12 times. MOM is ready to cave.....Daddy is still trying.
12:45-Daddy gives in, we convince ourselves that she must be hungry because she didn't eat dinner and we give her a bottle. Well, she did sleep all night after that!
So we caved in...tonight I'm MIA (more on that at a later date) so we will report Daddy's progress tomorrow.
ON they bright side, the babysitter is on board and she said today when she laid her down at nap time, she went right to sleep without a bottle or rocking for the first time, so we must be making progress.

Keep at it...sounds like it's going just like it should! And LET HER KEEP THAT PASSY...it's the only thing that saved my sanity as far as the sleeping all night. If it makes you feel better, only let her have it while she's sleeping!
Ooh, one more thing. With Laura, when we went in to pat her/put the passy back in, etc., we could NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT. Like, sometimes I would sit in her room for a few minutes and ease my way towards the door slowly, but NO EYE CONTACT. That let her know it was not play time or talking time. You can do this! I want to hear about night #4!
Man-you must be exhausted. I can't imagine being woke up that many times AND teaching. UGH!! Good luck. I am with Stacey-nothing wrong with the passey-nothing at all. I am an advocate for them! :)
