On our way to better sleep habits!

I'm so very excited!

For a long time now, I have rocked Katie and Josie to sleep. Every nap time, every bed time, I would cuddle them until they were so passed out that they could be moved to their cribs. Sam always helps at bed time and we are usually at it for an hour or more!

Now, for nap time, I've started putting them in their cribs, reading a story, then playing a favorite CD for them and leaving the room. Yesterday, they took about a half an hour to put themselves to sleep, but then they slept really well! Today, Katie only let out a small protest when she saw that I was getting ready to leave the room. Hopefully they will be more and more efficient and going to sleep.

Soon we'll try this at bed time too!
