AnnCarter was having a bit of a rough day going from happy to sad rather suddenly. This particular day we were working on her learning to fall asleep on her own for naps. She's great about sleeping at bedtime but has a harder time during the day (that is falling asleep without a little help). I think she was extra tired from avoiding falling asleep, but we were successful at achieving naptime later that day.
I've had a difficult time deciding how I've wanted to approach this whole issue. I've been able to avoid it for the most part up until now because she would typically fall asleep at appropriate times and get the rest she needed during the day, but last week that started to change and so I knew it was time to work on a more defined schedule. I have a bit of a hard time with the cry-it-out approach...mainly because it makes me so sad, but after talking to another mom of three young kids at church I decided to try it out. I think it's working, and I feel like AnnCarter is to the point where she can make the connection. The next few days will really tell. Any thoughts or advice I'd gladly accept :-)
