Rocker bye Baby

Laura and I have been training Kinnnon to go to sleep on his own for the past 2 nights. Kinnon usually goes to bed at 10pm and then wakes up once at 2am. What we usually do is towake up in the middle of the night and then rock him to sleep...

We decided to take turns during this, not knowing how difficult/ painful this would be (both for him and us). Last night, Laura stayed up with him with Kinnon hollering away for almost an hour. He soon fell so exhausted with all his crying and was starting to fall asleep upright. Laura put him down, he protested, whimpered a little but then went to sleep.

Tonight (or should I say this morning) was my turn. Kinnon woke up at 3:30am and started crying bao bao (carry me in Chinese) so I told him firmly to sui jiao (sleep). Laura came in at 3:4oam and I told him that he was crying for ten minutes. At about 3:48, and laid him down, patted him a little and started singing to him. He protested a little, but within 5 minutes he was trying to put himself to sleep.

Okay, I think he is getting the point.
