Dr. Ferber, Part II

It's now been a little over a week, but last night was something of a victory for us.

Henry went to bed at 8:30pm. When I left the room, he was lying down in his crib, talking quietly to himself. A few minutes later, I noticed that it was all quiet and he was asleep. Perfect! Later in the evening, he woke up and cried for about two minutes, but then all was quiet again. Once again, this is exactly what we wanted! But the best part is that when he woke up in the morning, it was 6:30am. This may not sound ideal, but for the last few days he's been waking up between 4-5am (and crying until 6am, when I finally let him get out of bed). I consider 6:30 to be a big improvement.

So. Easy bedtime, self-soothing, and sleeping for 10 hours. What more could I ask for? Good work, Henry! And thanks, Dr. Ferber.
