So for the last week Jack has had some really hard evenings. Typically when he cries, I'll first go in and shush and pat him, followed by standing at the door ever 10 minutes to let him know that it's bed time... that usually works and usually is unnecessary. In fact, just a week ago i was thinking to myself just how well of a sleeper he has become....
DANGER.
Never have those thoughts.
Never ever EVER let your mind think for even a MILLISECOND that your child might be sleeping "well," might be "over the hurdle" of sleep challenges, might "never have a disrupted night sleep again!".. NEVER!
I have learned this lesson a number of times since becoming a Mom -- probably about 15 times... and without fail, each time i have one of those thoughts, without fail, it all goes to shit.
So, our Sleep Nana is coming to the rescue yet again. Without her, I would probably have been institutionalized long ago. And while the experience is not cheap, it is SO worth it - every single penny of it.
