Here’s the report from Day 3 of Operation Sleep, Dammit! 
Noah didn’t nap much after his 9:30 – 11:30 am nap yesterday, maybe 40 minutes of “sleating” around 4:30 pm. But for some reason, he was still chipper and going strong at 8 pm. After he jumped up and started climbing Mount Mama twice, I stopped the bedtime ritual and we went back downstairs until he showed signs of being sleepy. At 9:25 pm.
Half an hour later, he was out cold in his own bed. Noah woke up twice, again, but cried for only 2-3 minutes each time, and slept through until 7:20 am.
It IS still hard to listen to him cry and not go in to try to soothe him. Very hard! But I’d say it’s worth it. I look forward to not being able to regale my colleagues with horror stories of last night’s “sleep” any more. And to needing less coffee myself!
